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.THE New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, edited by Stanley Sadie, is the world's most authoritative guide to classical music. With 22,500 entries written by 2,400 contributors (using, for the record, more than 22 million words) and 4,500 drawings and photographs, its 20 volumes are a library in themselves. Major composers receive book-length entries: the entry on Haydn, for example, runs to more than 25,000 words. The New Grove costs pounds 1400 (including CDs, books and magazines worth pounds 120), but we have a complete set to give away, courtesy of Macmillan Publishers Ltd. There are also five second prizes of boxed sets of Mozart CDs, courtesy of Polygram. Each set includes nine CDs: Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Cosi fan tutte, played by the Drottningholn Court Theatre Orchestra and chorus, with conductor Arnold Ostman and soloists. Booklets on each one accompany the set. To enter, answer the three questions below, and three more which will be published next Sunday. Send all six answers, on a postcard, to: Grove Competition, Arts Desk, Independent on Sunday, 40 City Rd, London EC1Y 2DB, by Friday 29 April.
1. Who set Beethoven dancing and Skryabin on fire?
2. Which French composer was interpreted by both Richard Strauss and Maurice Ravel?
3. What title has been boarded by both Edward Elgar and Andrew Lloyd Webber?
