	The Joachim Raff Society - Sinfonietta
		The Sinfonietta was popular in its day and that no doubt helped the use of the term amongst composers.
		He wrote the piece in Wiesbaden in Spring 1873 during the period which was, as his daughter Helene wrote, "the cultural high point of his life".
		The Sinfonietta's popularity endured and it was one of the works which continued to keep its composer's name before audiences, long after most of his music was forgotten.

	Roussel: Sinfonietta, opus 52 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The Sinfonietta is another of Roussel's miniatures — in this case, a scaled-down symphony lasting a mere nine to ten minutes.
		The Sinfonietta features Roussel's typical three movements in fast- slow-fast format, but the central movement is shorter than sometimes.
		As is the case in other pieces when a slow movement deals with death (Suite in f#, Concerto for piano, Concertino for cello), Roussel follows the anguished slow movement with a vigorous reaffirmation of life.

		The London Sinfonietta and Warp Records collaborated at last year's successful Ether Festival hosted by London's South Bank Centre, which the Daily Telegraph described as "The beginnings of a quiet musical revolution".
		The London Sinfonietta returned to play a masterful version of George Antheil's Ballet Mécanique (with the accompanying 1924 fl and white film by Fernand Léger, Dudley Murphy and Man Ray).
		The music and visuals were perfectly synchronised, with the piece ageing astonishingly well: it seemed fresh, exciting and vital and was one of the highlights of the evening.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Gigs \| The London Sinfonietta and Jonny Greenwood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Last year's Ether concerts—a collaboration between the London Sinfonietta and Warp Records at the Royal Festival Hall in London—was such a mindblowing experience that I was sure I'd be in the stalls for this year's concert, which featured the Sinfonietta with Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, who would be premiering several compositions.
		The theme of last year's event seemed, in retrospect, to be about process, whether that was the prepared piano treatments of Aphex Twin, bold remixes by Squarepusher, the syncopations of Steve Reich's Violin Phase or Jamie Lidell's inspired loops, which bordered on the insanely great.
		A string quartet condensed from the Sinfonietta then played the first of four short pieces by Henri Dutilleux that punctuated the evening in memorable bursts; Ainsi la Nuit "Miroir d'Espace", the initial piece, preceded Jonny Greenwood's Piano for Children.

		presented by the World Diversity Leadership Symposium at the United Nations. The Sinfonietta was in pretty good company. Others honored for their work in promoting diversity included Procter and Gamble, HSBC, Major League Baseball (I met Bud Selig), MGM, Bennett College, and Aviva. It was truly exciting. Here is the text of my acceptance speech.
		On behalf of everyone with the Chicago Sinfonietta, I wish to thank the World Diversity Leadership Symposium for this great honor. We commend you for sponsoring this important event that recognizes exemplary work in this arena.

		From the opening crack of a unison hand-clap, the London Sinfonietta's performance of Wolfgang Rihm's Jagden und Formen (Hunting and Forming) was propelled on a 50-minute dash of unstoppable energy.
		The Sinfonietta's performance had us glued to the edges of our seats, flinging us from one musical extreme to another.
		For all its vast scale, the piece never assumes any recognisable structure: it chases and hunts itself, its own form, throughout the 50 minutes.
