In 1950, as Arnold Schoenberg anticipated the publication of a
collection of 15 of his most important writings, Style and Idea, he
was already at work on a second volume to be called Program Notes.
Inspired by this idea, Schoenberg's Program Notes and Musical
Analyses can boast the most comprehensive study of the composer's
writings about his own music yet published. Schoenberg's insights
emerge not only in traditional program notes, but also in letters,
sketch materials, pre-concert talks, public lectures, contributions
to scholarly journals, newspaper articles, interviews, pedagogical
materials, and publicity fliers. The editions of the texts in this
collection, based almost exclusively on Schoenberg's original
manuscript sources, include many items appearing in print in
English for the first time, as well as more familiar texts that
preserve musical and textual information eliminated from previous
editions. The book also reveals how Schoenberg, desirous to
communicate with and educate an audience, took every advantage of
changes in technology during his lifetime, utilizing print media,
radio broadcasts, record jackets-and had he lived, television-for
this purpose. In addition to four chapters in which Schoenberg
illuminates 42 of his own compositions, the book begins with
chapters on his development and influences, his thoughts about
trends in modern music, and, in a nod to the importance of the
radio in providing a venue for music analysis, a chapter about
Schoenberg's radio broadcasts.
