Award-winning author Jack Boss returns with the 'prequel' to
Schoenberg's Twelve-Tone Music (Cambridge, 2014) demonstrating that
the term 'atonal' is meaningful in describing Schoenberg's music
from 1908 to 1921. This book shows how Schoenberg's atonal music
can be understood in terms of successions of pitch and rhythmic
motives and pitch-class sets that flesh out the large frameworks of
'musical idea' and 'basic image'. It also explains how tonality,
after losing its structural role in Schoenberg's music after 1908,
begins to re-appear not long after as an occasional expressive
device. Like its predecessor, Schoenberg's Atonal Music contains
close readings of representative works, including the Op. 11 and
Op. 19 Piano Pieces, the Op. 15 George-Lieder, the monodrama
Erwartung, and Pierrot lunaire. These analyses are illustrated by
richly detailed musical examples, revealing the underlying logic of
some of Schoenberg's most difficult pieces of music.
