Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The text reads really well. There are very few points, where some language editing might be required:

1. Abstract, l.13: The conclusionS highlight...

2. l. 28-29: sentence starting with 'Cultural identity, ...' needs to be revised. Does not read well.

3. l. 30: 'cultural identity; one involves...'

4. l.54: 'There is another musical movement THAT emerged...'

5. l.60: Does not read well. The comma might be displaced.

6. l. 152: Sentence does not read well: 'He succinctly described...'. Needs to be revised.

7. l.164-166: Sentence starting with 'Cocteau backed his French...' does not read well. Needs to be revised.

8. l.264: I guess that the comma before 'Ravel' needs to be replaced by a full stop.

9. l.393: Sentence does not read well. Needs to be corrected.

10. l.414-418: Sentence does not read well. Needs to be revised.

11. l.439: Some issues with the sentence. Probably needs to be revised to 'As we know, although World War I had ended,...'

12. l.487: Some typos: correct to 'those innovations'

13. l.516: I guess, it needs to be corrected to: ', betraying the sentiments...'
