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 the different parts of the world provided the foundation of her musical style.
