With his opera The Diary of Anne Frank (1968/69), by virtue of the subject alone, Grigory Frid could be sure of attracting attention beyond the borders of Russia. The remaining enormous oeuvre by the composer, covering mainly instrumental works, songs, radio and film music, still remains to be discovered and explored in depth. Both prior to and after the collapse of the Communist USSR, Frid was awarded the highest honors, e.g. The title of Artist of Merit (1986) and the Moscow Prize (1996). It is not erroneous to view Frid's aesthetic position in a propinquity to Dmitri Shostakovich, as well as a generation of younger composeres such as Edison Denisov, Sofia Gubaidulina and Alfred Schnittke. As in the cases of these composers, Frid's music is also positioned within a field of tension between following the great Russian tradition and the quest for possibilities of expression in keeping with new, modern and international trends.

Somewhere between the first and second decade of the InchshortInch 20th century, the great Viennese musical tradition of Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, and Mahler supposedly crashed into the limits of tonality and came to a halt. Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg composed anew, now according to what was supposed to be the Inchhistorically inevitableInch system of atonality. Karl Weigl went on to write marvelously traditional music. Schoenberg wrote in 1938 that InchI always considered Dr. Weigl one of the best composers of the old school; one of those who continued the glittering Viennese tradition.Inch And that is what we hear in abundance in Weigl's output throughout the genres His symphonies, his songs, his concertos, his string quartets, and the chamber works for piano, cello, and violin in various combinations.
