New Grove Dictionary Competition: Part Two
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LAST SUNDAY on these pages we published the first part of our competition to win the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the world's most authoritative guide to classical music. The New Grove's 20 volumes usually cost pounds 1,400 (including CDs, books and magazines worth pounds 120), but we have a complete set to give away, courtesy of Macmillan Publishers Ltd. There are also five second prizes of boxed sets of Mozart CDs, courtesy of Polygram. Each set includes nine CDs: Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Cosi fan tutte, played by the Drottningholn Court Theatre Orchestra and chorus, with conductor Arnold Ostman and soloists. To enter, answer the three questions below, and the three printed here last Sunday. Send all six answers, on a postcard, to: Grove Competition, Arts Desk, IoS, 40 City Rd, London EC1Y 2DB, by Friday 29 April.
4. Who foiled a useless precaution in Andalucia and married after the follies of a day?
5. In Vienna, some of Schubert's were unfinished, great, and tragic. But in Copenhagen, whose were expansive, inextinguishable and temperamental?
6. Which Shakespearian character appears in operas by, among others, Thomas, Holst and Salieri?
