Ruth Schonthal's compositions, which reflect the concerns of today's world, display a unique blend of her deeply rooted European tradition, depth of feeling, and masterful blending of traditional and contemporary techniques.Ruth Schonthal never followed the prevalent contemporary aesthetic fashions. At a time when Anton Webern and John Cage were the American role models, she followed her own musical path, never denying her own classic-romantic heritage. The extraordinarily varied impressions she absorbed in the course of her life in different parts of the world provided the foundation of her musical style. Through exposure to diverse influences and teaching methods in Germany, Sweden, Mexico and the USA, Ruth Schonthal was able to extrapolate an unusually rich mixture of compositional techniques from these experiences. She used them to form a comprehensive stylistic synthesis.

The piano works by the Swiss composer Erich Schmid (1907-2000), written between 1926 and 1943, are close to the Viennese School of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, but bring their own special colour to this spectrum. Even where they are twelve-tonal, Schmid's piano pieces do not exhaust themselves in strict constructivism, but often have a playful, motoric side. With their manageable rangeand complexity, they provide a comparatively easy access to a style that was formative in the first half of the 20th century. Splitter (Volume 2), a collection of folk song arrangements and character pieces in a freely tonal style, is particularly easy to play. Schmid's first collection Kleine Musik (Volume 1) can also be mastered by amateurs.
