| Zusammenfassung: | "Between 1908 and 1923, Arnold Schoenberg began writing music that went against many of the accepted concepts and practices of the art. Largely following his intuition, he composed some of the masterpieces of the modern repertoire - including Pierrot lunaire and Erwartung - works that have since provoked a large, though fragmented, body of critical and analytical writing." "Here, Bryan Simms combines a historical study with a close analytical reading of the music to give us a new and richer understanding of Schoenberg's seminal work during this period. Simms begins with Schoenberg's evolution toward atonality during the decade before 1908 and concludes with his eventual transition to twelve-tone composing. In between, Simms provides expert commentary on all of Schoenberg's major atonal pieces, covering for each the history of its composition, Schoenberg's own conception of the piece, an analysis of its form, and the relationships between the piece and his other work."--BOOK JACKET. |
