A masterly composer of music for strings, Bloch wrote four string quartets, Schelomo--A Hebrew Rhapsody (for cello and orchestra), and A Voice in the Wilderness (for orchestra and cello obbligato), which are deeply emotional works and rank among the most distinguished achievements in the neo-classic and neo-romantic idiom of early 20th-century music.

  Illuminations: Kellner
Bloch discerns, for example, how Adler's Will to Power is related to competitive capitalist drives to move from the bottom to the top and how his theories of inferiority complex and neurosis reproduce the feelings of those strata of capitalist societies who have failed economically and who thus blame themselves for their failures (57ff.).
Bloch then points out that the hecticness of life and the structural anxiety that permeates life in capitalist society --which submits the underlying population to the vagaries and uncertainties of the market,-- produce tendencies toward escape and regression, especially among the middle and lower petite-bourgeois strata.
Cultural surplus for Bloch has the potentiality of utopian surplus which anticipates, previews, and points to a better organization of society and everyday life, and it is the task of the cultural critic to discern and unfold this progressive potential and to relate it to the struggles and possibilities of the present.
