The world of Alban Berg is full of paradoxes, secrets and
allusions, but he was able to handle emotional and moral issues at
a distance and with profound sympathy. His unhurried, almost
aristocratic attitude to life and his extreme self-criticism in
professional matters resulted in an extraordinarily small musical
output, but it includes towering masterpieces such as the operas
Wozzeck and Lulu, and his last work, the Violin Concerto. All of
Berg's substantial works are discussed in this Companion which
brings together a team of experts who write from a variety of
historical and critical perspectives, outlining the place of the
music in the cultural history of its time and recontextualising it
against the broader twentieth-century interplay of fashions,
aesthetics and ideas.
