Abstract
(On 21 May, while in Moscow for the International Festival of Contemporary Music (see TEMPO 150), a young New York violinist of the Citizen Exchange Council group and I met Alfred Schnittke, whose music is published in the West and who is, with Edison Denisov, probably the best-known contemporary Soviet composer outside the USSR. His styles swing a pendulum between free atonality and the neo-Romantic tonalism found in some parts of western Europe and America nowadays; his Fourth Violin Concerto, premièred in Berlin, will be played in Cleveland soon. Our conversation took place in a Moscow park, and was translated by Carlos Juris, a graduate student in piano of Moscow Conservatory.)
