Summary

This quote reflects on the idea that certain forms of music, perhaps associated with a simpler and more traditional way of life, may seem out of place in modern urban settings. It suggests that the fast-paced, multi-towered environments of high-rise buildings are not conducive to the nostalgic and timeless charm embodied by "parlor ballads" - a type of music typically associated with intimate gatherings in home parlors. The quote implies that societal transformation and technological advancements have caused a distance between such music and the contemporary urban landscape.
