Extract

When René Leibowitz was preparing the first performance of the Piano Concerto op.4 in 1949 (it was for this occasion that Spinner made the transcription for chamber orchestra, which is the only version of the piece that is known, printed, and performed), he asked Spinner for some details about his work and himself. The answer was characteristic:

…Nun schliesslich, Sie würden gerne Einzelheiten von mir wissen: Ich bin 42, habe eine Frau und ein Kind (Margaret, 6 Jahre), das ist ganz privat narürlich (aber für mich sehr wichtig, darum erwähne ich es)! Ich habe bei Webern studiert. Was ich bis jetzt geschrieben habe, fängt mit der Sonate für Violin und Klavier op.1 an, dann ein Streichquartett op.2, eine Sonate für Klavier op.3. Op.4 kennen Sie bereits.

I studied with Webern. What I have written till now begins with the Sonata for violin and piano op.l, then a String Quartet op.2, a Piano Sonata op.3. Op.4 you know already.’
