The Unanswered Question (1908). Charles Ives /tonality/
Rajarshi Chaudhuri wrote about Ives' The Unanswered Question:
So, is tonality seemingly everlasting - could be so - but the disturbing question - like a specter - still floats in the air and of course there is no answer other than silence and confusion!
In other Ives news, singer Bruce Hornsby incorporates Ives' Study No. 22 into one of his songs. And Cheryl Gibbs reviews a concert of American music in Richmond, IN and calls The Unanswered Question one of Ives' less approachable works. Well, for me, I heard it once and was instantly ensnared.
