Copland was interested in exploring various methods of composition that might stimulate his melodic and harmonic ideas. It had been twenty years since he had adapted serialism to his own use. He said that "composing with all twelve notes of the chromatic scale can give one a feeling of freedom. It's like looking at a picture from a different point of view." Copland was the first to admit that he did not keep strictly to the rules of serialism. In fact, the sense of a tonal center is rarely missing in the Quartet.

The Sextet came about due to Copland's frustration that his Short Symphony was considered too difficult. By arranging it for fewer instruments, he hoped for more performance possibilities. As he predicted, the terrors of both versions have worn off for players as well as listeners. The Sextet is highly admired by chamber music players and it is considered one of the composer's finest accomplishments. Taking a long view of history, Copland said, "One learns to have patience."

Based on a Jewish folk song from Ansky's play The Dybbuk, Vitebsk is one of Copland's few works making use of a Jewish theme. (Vitebsk, Ansky's home town in Russia, was where the playwright first heard the tune.) Copland wrote, "Jewish influences were present in my music, even when I did not refer to them overtly. I grew up in the Eastern European tradition and so there was no novelty to it as was the case with folk materials relating to the American West." With Vitebsk, it was Copland's intention to reflect the harshness and drama of Jewish life in Russia. Audiences find it a strangely moving work.
