The core of the book is a commentary on the music itself. West Side Story is one of the very few Broadway musicals for which there is a complete published orchestral score, as well as two different editions of the piano-vocal score. The survival of the original copied orchestral score, and the reminiscences of Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal, reveal details of the orchestration process, and the extent to which Bernstein was involved in this.
Simeone's commentary considers: musical characteristics and compositional techniques used to mirror the drama for example, the various uses of the tritone , motivic development, the use and reinvention of Broadway and other conventions, the creation of dramatic continuity in the score through the use of motifs and other devices, the unusual degree of dissonance and rhythmic complexity at least for the time , and the integration of Latin-American dance forms Mambo, Huapango and so on.
Simeone also considers the reception of West Side Story in the contemporary press. The Warriors follows the Dominators making their way back to their home territory without being killed.
The police are prowling the city in search of anyone involved in the mayhem.
