Produktbeschreibung

All of Berg's substantial works are discussed in this Companion, including early songs and piano music that have only recently seen the light of day. The volume brings together a team of experts who write from a variety of historical and critical perspectives and while the book naturally gives centre stage to the music itself, it also outlines its immediate cultural context and places it in the broader twentieth-century interplay of fashions, aesthetics and ideas.
