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.
Your support makes all the difference.On Phantasy of Spring, Widmann & Lepper deftly demonstrate how different 20th-centuruy composers tried to negotiate the tricky territory where violin and piano coexist.
Schonberg circumnavigated the problem by making the paiano an accompaniment to his Phantasy for Violin, while Bernd Alois Zimmermann employed all manner of distractions to make his Sonate fur VIoline und Klavier palatable. Decades later, Feldman and Xenakis were more succesful, the latter's spiky Dikhthas confronting the instruments' timbral antipathy, while Feldman's Spring of Chosroes separates the relationship out into sparse individual flecks of sound.
