Charles Ives penned The Unanswered Question in 1908 for a solitary probing trumpet, four quarrelsome woodwinds, and a small complement of strings. According to the composer himself, the wind instruments express the growing unrest of human beings who feel increasingly unsettled as they come face to face with the inexorability of destiny, as rendered tangible by the ethereal sounds of strings.
