The Austrian composer Anton Webern (1883-1945) is one of the major
figures of musical modernism. His mature works comprise two styles:
the so-called free atonal music composed between 1907 and 1924, and
the twelve-tone serial music that began in 1924 and extended
through the remainder of his creative life. In this book an eminent
music theorist presents the first systematic and in-depth study of
the early atonal works, from the George Lieder, opus 3, through the
Latin Canons, opus 16. Drawing on music-analytical procedures that
he and other scholars have developed in recent years, Allen Forte
argues that a single compositional system underlies all of Webern's
atonal music. Forte examines such elements as pitch, register,
timbre, rhythm, form, and text setting, showing how Webern
displaced the functional connections of traditional tonality to
create a totally new sonic universe. Although the main thrust of
the study is music-analytical in nature, Forte also considers
historical context and significant biographical aspects of the
individual works, as well as word-music relations in the music with
text.
