well organized ideas about pierrot lunaire
Mandatory for Schoenbergians Jonathan Dunsby had done a service to Schoenberg with this straightforward analysis of PIERROT. Plenty of background information is provided (although more on Albertine Zehme and the early performances of the piece would have been useful). Musical analysis is not forbiddingly technical. Anyone who can read music should be able to follow Dunsby's lead with a score. Those who don't read music should be able to hear what the author points out in precise prose. It is important to cover as many aspects of PIERROT as possible: because the piece itself is brief and because Schoenberg carefully chose and set each poem. Dunsby treats each melodrama as a separate entity, but he also relates each one to the whole. It is also commendable that he discusses much of PIERROT in terms of melody. The composer was in the process of inventing a new kind of melody and he started an exploratory process that still continues today. Over and over again, Dunsby points out the kaleidoscopic melodic and instrumental variety of this fascinating musical landmark. PIERROT is not an important "museum piece", but an engaging masterpiece that lives on in performance today.

excellent book
i like this book
An attempt at a more "superficial treatment" of Schoenberg...
a wonderful, sympathetic view "It has never been the purpose and effect of new art to suppress the old, its predecessor, certainly not to destroy it....The appearance of the new can far better be compared with the flowering of a tree:it is the natural growth of the tree of life.But if there were trees that had an interest in preventing the flowering, then they would surely call it revolution.And conservatives of winter would fight against each spring. ... Short memory and meager insight suffice to confuse growth with overthrow." (p. 141)
Great Composer, Great Book Schoenberg is tough, true. But I hope people will read this book and see he was human and passionate. It's really silly that I haven't had the opportunity to hear one of the greatest composer's music in concert. Will that change? With more advocates such as Mr. Shawn, I can hope so. ... Read more |

doesn't fulfill the promise of the title... The papers are divided into three sections -- Contexts, which looks at how Schoenberg was affected by his social context, Creations, which examines specific aspects of Schoenberg's music, and Connections, which looks at what effect Schoenberg had on the world.The third section is where "Transformations of 20th Century Culture" might be identified -- how Schoenberg's atonality and serialism, revolutionary or purist or neoclassicist ideas affected modern culture -- but this is totally absent.Instead we have insular examinations of Schoenberg from a postmodern standpoint.Disappointing and dull. The one excellent essay, by Leon Botstein, founding director of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute, is a fascinating look at Schoenberg's position in avant-garde intellectual circles in Vienna.Botstein describes two rival factions, one centered on Gustav Klimt, and one centered on Karl Kraus.Schoenberg was active in the Kraus circle, which "believed in art as a profound instrument of ethical and moral transformation," saw that "modernism needed to be a critique of culture," and advocated "truth-telling" as opposed to what it saw as the other faction's "facile bohemianism." Given Adorno's advocacy of Schoenberg, and given the retreat of much postmodernism into moral relativism and facile bohemianism, a book that truly addressed the effect of Schoenberg and the Second Vienna School on 20th century culture would be well worth reading! ...
