Mr. Reynolds, the principal of the Los Angeles architectural firm OJMR Architects, is also building 16 town houses in downtown Palm Springs -- now a hip destination for lovers of architectural Modernism -- in partnership with Symphony Development of Los Angeles.

Peter Helps, a former Birmingham councillor who was behind the Symphony Hall development, said: "[You have to] look at it from the point of view of an investment and what it did for Birmingham... it was a major lift.
His earliest symphonies represent the first stage of this development, while the Symphony No. 3 in D Minor (1873) uncovers the essence of his mature style.
Milner, too, recognises the pivotal position of this symphony in Tippett's development which, he says, both sums up the style of the late 1950s and presages the changes to come.

His operatic overtures had considerable influence on the development of the symphony, especially in northern Germany.
The primary result of this development was the symphony orchestra with its multiple stringed, wind, brass, and percussion instruments.
A number of factors combined to bring about a gradual change of outlook: the instrumental prowess of the Mannheim Orchestra, which made possible the development of the symphony; the reaction on the part of writers against pure rationalism in favour of feeling; and the works of Haydn and Mozart.
So in one sense Mr. Teachout is right to note that "it is precisely because jazz is now widely viewed as a high-culture art form that its makers must start to grapple with the same problems of presentation, marketing and audience development as do symphony orchestras, drama companies and art museums".
Confronted with the task of writing in the Beethovenian manner, a great master like Schumann, who had created the near-perfect, totally Romantic suite Carnaval, Opus 9 (1835), was clearly out of his element: the development of his Symphony No. 1 in B Flat Major, Opus 38 (Spring; 1841), offers a prime example of the "rhythmic paralysis" that affected so many large-scale 19th-century works.
