	Records International Catalogue June 2005
		Bravura pieces, exotic works based on non-Western themes, Impressionism, didactic works, children's pieces, folksongs and patriotic works, salon miniatures and, in his later period, modernistic pieces it's impossible to easily characterize this composer who has been tabbed as a reactionary miniaturist due to the enduring popularity of a few pieces like Lotus Land.
		The 1849 C major work is a warmly optimistic piece whose rich harmonies point toward Brahms while the E flat piece, coming from 1855 (and a period of political repression), is a sad, unsettling work with some surprising shots of dissonance which embody Spohr's regret at the failure of the 1848 liberal revolutions across Europe.
		This piece is derived from Persen's still-unperformed opera of 1985, an appropriately tragic and dark-hued work, plainly reflecting in purely instrumental terms the tragic narrative that inspired it (a localised and thoroughly nasty little episode of brutal religious and political repression of the Saami populace of Lapland in the mid-19th century).

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Modernism
		Modernist primitivism and pessimism was controversial but was not seen as representative of the Edwardian mainstream, which was more inclined towards a Victorian faith in progress and liberal optimism.
		Modernists, in turn, attacked the madness of hurling millions of young men into the hell of war, and the falseness of artistic norms which could not depict the emotional reality of life in the 20th century.
		For this reason many modernists of the post-war generation felt that they were the most important bulwark against totalitarianism, the "canary in the coal mine", whose repression by a government or other group with supposed authority represented a warning that individual liberties were being threatened.

	Slab method for ceramics
		In this method, plastic clay is rolled to a certain thickness, and pieces are cut out according to selected patterns and are then joined with thick pasting slip and coil "snakes." The pieces or "slabs" may be employed flat, or may be curved prior to slip pasting.
		Before putting on the end piece, slip paste the base and side of the side piece where the end piece is to touch, and slip paste the end piece along the corresponding areas.
		In large pieces, it may be desirable to reinforce slabs with ribs of clay to reduce warping when the object dries, or is fired.

		On this piece the only departure from geometrical lines is taken by the two finials of the mirror supports, which are highly conventionalized peacock heads.
		Stands of plate glass, with two or more shelves supported by slender pieces of severely plain silvered metal, are very unobtrusive in even a small room, and yet are extremely useful for holding lamps, teacups or ash trays.

		There is a steady pulse throughout the piece, representing the steady passage of real time which the ADD mind moves (although oblivious to) in synch with.

	Getting an earful - The Boston Globe
		The sons and daughters of Copland or the neoclassical Stravinsky, on the other hand, think of Schoenberg's music, and that of many of his disciples, as something that made sense for a certain time and place, namely Europe between the wars.
		Levine also loves Stravinsky, and his performance last October of ''The Rite of Spring" was out of this world, but pairing it with Schoenberg's ''Five Pieces for Orchestra" did not have the effect of proving, at least to these ears, that Schoenberg will ever stand the test of time in terms of popularity.
		Other than a commission for a new piece by John Harbison, who has had a foot in both camps, there has been no room in the inn for composers who have re-established a tie with contemporary audiences.

		I think most of the time - and I'm not slighting anyone - when people are doing a piece like that, they don't know what their intent is. I hear this stuff and I say, "This isn't rap music!" Even if they play a beat, and then play on the beat.

	Jason Moran :Modernistic
		So it is fitting that he should title his solo piano outing after, and lead off with, a James P. Johnson composition, "You've Got to Be Modernistic." Johnson recorded the piece in 1929 with his orchestra, which included trumpet players Joe Oliver and Cootie Williams.
		That piece was, in retrospect, nothing less than an announcement and Modernistic expands on it, taking in early New Orleans jazz and stride, honky tonk, bebop and avant-garde, hip-hop, classical and post-modern European composition.
		According to Moran, the piece tells the story of the migration of his family: his father, a native of Louisiana, and his mother, a North Texan, both moved to Houston in search of work, and that is where Moran himself was born.
