According to Grove Dictionary, neo-classicism is the movement of style in the works of certain 20th century composers, who, particularly between the two world wars (1918-1939), revived the balanced forms and clearly perceptible thematic processes from the earlier styles, to replace what was to them, the increasingly exaggerated gestures and formlessness of late-Romanticism.

According to Grove Dictionary, neo objectivity is the simultaneous emergence of socio-political and artistic trends that emphasized the democratization of all areas of life. It is a term coined by Gustav Friedrich Hartlurb. Haha, okay i still think its a funny name. Fried-rich Hart-lurb. Reminds me of lard.

According to Stravinsky, he say that Pulcinella is his discovery of the past, the epiphany through which the whole of his late works became possible.

According to Morgan, Pulcinella has the unmistakenable flavour of 18th century music, but the original was subtly transformed so that it takes on a new and unexpected Stravinskian character. He also said that the point for Stravinsky is not to go back to the past, but to revitalize certain basic traditional compositional assumptions in ways consistent with the comtemporary harmonic and rhythmic practices.

According to Hindemith, he say that the 19th century concertos are being erred by degrading concertos into uncontrolled virtuosity and symphonic tensions.
