Except for the Canons on Irish Folksongs, virtually all Spinner’s works are
composed according to his personal development within the 12-note method. The
early works before opus 1 show Bergian and Schoenbergian traits; thereafter the
stylistic and textural refinement of his music owes most to Webern, and he
contributed mainly to Webernian genres. Yet gesturally and dynamically Spinner
is often very distinct from Webern, and he continued to develop the 12-note
method in his own terms. The late ‘sonatinas’ (the term was surely ironical) approach something like ‘total serialization’ of
rhythm and dynamics as well as pitch, but combined with an intensity and indeed
violence of expression that makes them the reverse of mere essays in
abstraction. Rather than belonging in any relation to the Darmstadt
avant-garde, whose view of music he though fundamentally flawed, Spinner is
rather the logical next step after Webern.
He wrote a valuable practical textbook, ‘A Short Introduction to the Technique
of Twelve-tone Composition’, published by Boosey & Hawkes in 1960. Because of
his connection with Boosey & Hawkes Spinner at least had the majority of his
works printed in good editions, but this does not seem to have brought him many
performances.

Spinner was of mixed Galizian and Romanian parentage, but was born a citizen of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1914 the family moved to Vienna. From 1926 to
1930 he studied with Alban Berg’s pupil Paul Amadeus Pisk. He had several
performances, including at ISCM Festivals, and won some notable prizes, but in
1935 he undertook a second course of study, this time with Anton Webern, until
1939. In May 1939 he emigrated to London. In 1940 he moved to Bradford,
Yorkshire, where he spent much of the war working in a locomotive factory.
After working as a music-copyist, in 1947 he joined the
staff of the publishers Boosey & Hawkes in London, as an editor. It is said
that he was so meticulous a copy-editor that Stravinsky insisted that all his
scores should be proof-read by Spinner. He retired from Boosey & Hawkes in
1975.
Although he maintained a number of contacts with musicians on the continent
and in the UK, and he composed steadily, comparatively few performances of
Spinner’s works took place and those were often misunderstood as mere epigonism
of Webern, and generally speaking this remains the case. The archive of
Spinner’s manuscripts is now in the Austrian National Library.
