Pro Mundo - Pro Domo: The Writings of Alban Berg contains new
English translations of the complete writings of the Viennese
composer Alban Berg (1885-1935) and extensive commentaries tracing
the history of each essay and its connection to musical culture of
the early twentieth century. Berg is now recognized as a classic
composer of the modern period, best known for his operas Wozzeck
and Lulu. Berg, Anton Webern, and their teacher Arnold Schoenberg
constitute the "Second Viennese School" which played a major role
in the transformation of serious music as it entered the modern
period. Berg was an avid and skillful writer. His essays include
analytic studies of compositions by Schoenberg, polemics on music
and musicians of his day, and lectures and miscellaneous writings
on a variety of topics. Throughout his considerable and diverse
corpus of writings, Berg alternates between two perspectives: Pro
Mundo - Pro Domo, meaning roughly "speaking for all - speaking for
myself" commenting at one moment on the general state of culture
and the world, and the next moment on his own works. In his early
years he also tried his hand at fictional writing, using works by
Ibsen and Strindberg as models. This new English edition contains
47 essays, many of which are little known and have not been
previously available in English.
