Schoenberg's Twelve-Tone Music

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Jack Boss takes a unique approach to analyzing Schoenberg's twelve-tone music, adapting the composer's notion of a 'musical idea' - problem, elaboration, solution - as a theoretical framework. Containing analytical readings of key works including Moses und Aron, this study provides the reader with a clearer understanding of this vitally important composer.

Inhaltsangabe

1. Musical idea and symmetrical ideal; 2. Suite for Piano, Op. 25:
varieties of idea in Schoenberg's earliest twelve-tone music; 3. Woodwind
Quintet, Op. 26: the twelve-tone idea reanimates a large musical form; 4.
Three Satires, Op. 28, #3: the earliest example of the 'symmetrical ideal'
in a (more or less) completely combinatorial context; 5. Piano Piece, Op.
33a: the 'symmetrical ideal' conflicts with and is reconciled to row order;
6. Fourth String Quartet, Op. 37, mvt. I: two motives give rise to
contrasting row forms, meters, textures and tonalities (and are reconciled)
within a large sonata form; 7. Moses und Aron: an incomplete musical idea
represents an unresolved conflict between communicating with God using word
or image; 8. String Trio, Op. 45: a musical idea (and a near-death
experience) is expressed as a conflict between alternative row forms.
