Alban Berg (1885-1935), a student of Arnold Schoenberg and one of
the most prominent composers of the Second Viennese School, is
counted among the pioneers of twelve-tone serialism. His circle
included not only the musicians of the Wiener modern but also
prominent literary and artistic figures from Vienna's brilliant
fin-de-siecle. In his short lifetime he composed two
ground-breaking operas, Wozzeck and Lulu, as well as chamber works,
songs, and symphonic compositions. His final completed work, the
deeply moving and elegiac Violin Concerto, is performed by leading
soloists across the world. This new life-and-works study from
authors Bryan R. Simms and Charlotte Erwin delivers a fresh
perspective formed from comprehensive study of primary sources that
reveal the forces that shaped Berg's personality, career, and
artistic outlook. One such force was Berg's wife, Helene Nahowski
Berg, and the book provides a unique assessment of her role in the
composer's life and work, as well as her later quest to shape his
artistic legacy in the forty-one years of her widowhood. The
authors present insightful analysis of all of Berg's major works,
bringing into play Berg's own analyses of the music, many of which
have not been considered in existing scholarship. Berg is an
accessible and all-encompassing resource for all readers who wish
to learn about the life and music of this composer, one of the
great figures in modern music.
