Paula Silverthorne responds to Steve Schwartz: >>* JANACEK: Violin Sonata (1914-22) >>* SZYMANOWSKI: Myths (1915) >>* ENESCU: Violin Sonata #3 in A, op. 25 "In the popular Romanian style" >> (1926) >>* BARTOK: First Rhapsody for Violin and Piano (1928) > > Lovely music, but modern? All of it nearly a hundred years old. As a retired physics professor (Boston University) I often taught a course called "Modern Physics" to physics and engineering students. And just as in the case of music, the main subjects of interest are quantum physics and relativity - both nearly a hundred years old. I exaggerate a bit, because the course touches on the enormous developments in physics over the last century, Nonetheless these developments depend on quantum physics and relativity. Just as in music the revolution in physics which occurred a century ago has had a profound influence on the future of the science. A coincidence ?
