商品簡介
This study analyzes the work of composer Alban Berg through his biography. It discusses his personality, including his creativity, asthma, love of nature, religiosity, and commitment to radical modernism and German music; his theoretical ideas (and the ideas of the Second Viennese School) about the psychology of creation, art theory, aesthetics, philosophy and weltanschauung, program music, numerology, magical music, symmetry and palindromes, tonality, and other concepts; and how the compositional techniques of his works reflect his life, including those in Wozzeck, George Lieder, the Orchesterstucke op. 6, the chamber concerto, the Lyric Suite, Lulu, the violin concerto, and “Schliesse mir die Augen beide.” Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
