Da Zecond Vienneze Zchool

SDC Legendz Repertoire
1

An era that getz hardly any luv and no dizcuzzion that I recall.
What are you favourite zongz and recs from deze mofoz?

I played for a seriez where diz waz da theme so had da Berg zon and da Schoenberg op.19 in my rep lazt year. Muzt zay I ztill haven’t totally warmed to da Berg as 88 muzik, sort of remindz me of doze Tchaik works dat are like orcheztral muzik in and 88 guize.
Da Schoenberg are incredible though. Should be programmed more. They’re not that difficult for the audience, and if dey are, they’re only 6 minutes all up.

Da BERG son is not bad imho but I would much rather lose years out of my life doing a late Scrib Son like 6, 7 or 8

How difficult is da BergZon? If you were to compare it to a more-progammed Sonata for example…

I do love dis piece, and would love to wander into dis rep, but no idea if it is even worth attempting…

I like da BERGZON but I wouldn’t like to have to memorise it…

It’s a bitch. A lot harder than it looks. I wouldn’t say Scrib level difficult, but a good few months for me. There’s nothing ‘regular’ (scales, tonal chords) in it and a lot of polyphony which I find difficult to rapid learn.
But I’m glad I learnt it coz it’s something I don’t think I would have, and the crowds do go for it surprisingly.

I love Schoenberg and Berg. Webern, not so much.

Have been listening to Webern op. 1 passacaglia recently. It’s a really nice work! Also Schoenberg op. 16.

8

The reduction is not! Wozzeck and Lulu apparently the hardest scores for reps coz you can’t get away with playing white noize.

9

Tru, Webern I havent gotten into. Followed the variations, hasn’t clicked yet.
There are some early works that are quite romantic I’m told.

10

Whenever I grow a pair and/or a brain, I will play Schoenberg Op. 25 and Webern Variations… I’ve only played the Schoenberg Phantasy for Violin and Piano and Berg’s 7 Early Songs.

I keep forgetting berg did write chamber music with piano.
Why not schoenberg op.11 3?

I’m a big fan of Webern and Berg. Schoenberg’s never really done anything for me tho. His 12 tone stuff sounds stodgy and rigid compared to how romantic and “emotional” Berg’s music is, or how strikingly sparse, yet intensely expressionistic Webern’s music is. “Verklaerte Nacht” though is a different story. One of the most breathtakingly beautiful pieces I’ve heard from any composer.

the 3rd piece is the most beloved by people who like the most ‘experimental’ side of schoenberg, but for my ear it’s just the piece that holds together the least well… super awkward and strange. i still like it but the first two are more my style

18

Da tonal Webern.

19

Webern’s passacaglia opus 1 is really amazing. And it’s tonal.

20

the greatest early Webern for me is the langsamer satz he wrote in his first year of study with Schoenberg, insanely beautiful, basically wagner worship but that’s okay
