Early in his career, the composer Arnold Schoenberg maintained
correspondence with many notable figures: Gustav Mahler, Heinrich
Schenker, Guido Adler, Arnold Rose, Richard Strauss, Alexander
Zemlinsky, and Anton von Webern, to name a few. In this volume of
Oxford's Schoenberg in Words series, Ethan Haimo and Sabine Feisst
present English translations of the entirety of Arnold Schoenberg's
early correspondence, from the earliest extant letters in 1891 to
those written in the aftermath of the controversial premieres of
his String Quartet No. 1, Op. 7, and the Kammersymphonie, Op. 9.
The letters provide a wealth of information on many of the crucial
stages in Schoenberg's early career, offering invaluable insights
into his daily life and working habits. New details emerge about
his activities at Wolzogen's Buntes Theater in Berlin, his
frequently confrontational interactions with his first publisher
(Dreililien Verlag), the reactions of friends and critics to the
premieres of his works, his role in the founding of the Vereinigung
schaffender Tonkunstler, his activities as a teacher, and his (all
too often unsuccessful) attempts to convince musicians to perform
his music. Presented alongside the editors' extensive running
commentary, the more than 300 letters in this volume create a vivid
picture of the young Schoenberg and his times.
