The music of Ruth Schonthal, who would have turned 100 in 2024, touches listeners in their innermost being. This is because the composer and pianist has processed human feelings, experiences and fates in all her works. There is nothing abstract or detached about her music. She speaks directly to the audience. She often describes very personal things that are of importance to many people. In this collection, Ruth Schonthal has compiled short impressions of a day – from pink clouds to starry skies.
