Arian discusses matters related to the working relationships amongst the players, conductors, trustees and management of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In this context he describes problems associated with programming, the educational needs of the audience, the ways in which the recording industry affects programming and other aspects of an orchestra's performance, specific issues raised by the Philadelphia Orchestra members in their labor relations with management, how the choice of board members could affect fundraising, and the different ways in which Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy met the sometimes conflicting demands of artistry versus financial realities. Arian also discusses Eugene Ormandy in relation to the impact he had on the Philadelphia Orchestra, his relations with orchestra members, and the comparisons made between him and Leopold Stokowski.
