Opis

Schoenberg's Program Notes and Musical Analyses is a comprehensive study of the composer's writings about his own music. The texts include program notes, letters, sketch materials, pre-concert talks, public lectures, scholarly writings, newspaper articles, interviews, pedagogical materials, publicity fliers, radio broadcasts, and liner notes.

Recenzje

The contents - more than eighty items - range from Schoenberg's major analyses to smaller statements, squibs, letter excerpts, marginalia, and ephemera from the composer's archival legacy. Following a preliminary group of essays of a general nature, the writings are sorted by the composition to which they principally refer. This makes the book especially useful since the essays—mostly available though scattered throughout a variety of existing sources—are here presented together and in English translations.
