Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Erwin Schulhoff didn't help his case by setting the Communist Manifesto to music in 1933, though his Double Concerto for Flute, Piano and String Orchestra with Two Horns pursues more apolitical, flights of fancy. Viktor Ullmann's Chamber Symphony, Op 46a sounds like the precursor of Bernard Herrmann's scores for Vertigo and Psycho. By comparison, Vilem Tausky's “Coventry – Meditation for String Orchestra” has a pastoral sensibility.
