内容説明
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) is a pivotal figure of musical modernism. The 'father of serialism' has influenced nearly every major composer of this century, and the idea of Schoenberg, now wild-eyed radical, now embattled moralist, now lonely prophet, is woven into the mythos of modern art. What is more, the sites of his professional activity - fin de siecle Vienna, the Berlin of the Weimar Republic, and his 'exile to paradise' in Los Angeles - bring home the representative quality of his life and works, which bear witness to some of the defining experiences of our time.This collection by leading Schoenberg scholars is an interdisciplinary examination of the historical, aesthetic, and intellectual issues that formed Schoenberg's creative persona and continue to influence our response to the modernist legacy of the first half of this century. The book's first section, 'Contexts,' investigates Schoenberg's sense of ethnic, religious, and cultural identity. The second section, 'Creations,' focuses on specific works and the interplay between creative impulse and aesthetic articulation.
The final section, 'Connections,' addresses the relationship of Schoenberg's legacy to present-day thought and practice.
