This book is a guide to Berg's second opera, Lulu, written in
non-technical language and intended for those students and music
lovers wishing to become familiar with one of the masterpieces of
twentieth-century music. Jarman presents a clear and concise
introduction to the musical language and to the intricate musical
and dramatic structure of Berg's opera. The volume also examines
the literary background, the genesis, composition, and tortuous
posthumous career of the work. The final chapters survey the
performance history and suggest a possible interpretation of this
complex and challenging composition. An important feature of the
book is the inclusion of source documents and critical responses to
the opera. Illustrated with photographs from the premiere and from
recent productions, the volume also includes a synopsis,
bibliography, and discography.
