The central point of this book is the realization that the creative
work of Alban Berg, which in recent years has moved to the
forefront of scholarly interest, is largely rooted in
autobiography, so that therefore one can gain access to the music
by studying the inner biography of its creator. Accordingly, the
first of the three parts of this volume outlines a character
portrait of this great composer. Part two considers the conditions
relevant to a deeper understanding of Berg and of the Second
Viennese School generally. In part three, then, Berg's key works
will be analyzed and semantically deciphered in terms of his inner
biography. The study is based not only on the sources in print but
also on the rich unpublished material. Alban Berg was incapable of
composing without a program. He needed an extra-musical stimulus.
With him, personal experience was the indispensable condition of
the creative process: the autobiographic reference was
all-important for composing.
