- Description
"I feel air from another planet": this line from Stephan George's poem is like a motto that stands above the barely comprehensible developments that musical language underwent in the first decade of the 20th century. There seems to be a huge break, for example, between Webern's delicate impressionistic fabric "Im Sommerwind" and the 5 movements for string quartet, the latter from 1904, the latter from 1909. The same applies to the oversaturated romanticism of "Verklärte Nacht" (1899) and Schönberg's String Quartet op. 10 (1907), from which the above quote comes.
We want to trace the lines of development that are astonishingly logical, even inevitable, and ultimately place the 12-tone technique in historical contexts, rather than the ruptures and distortions. And we want to get to know works (anew or again), small works such as Webern's Bagatelles op. 9 and great operas such as "Wozzeck" or Alban Berg's "Lulu".- Credits
