Schoenberg's Op.23 for solo piano, written between 1920 and 1923,
represented a move from his atonal music of the preceding twelve
years to 12-note music. In this analysis of the five pieces which
make up Op.23, Kathryn Bailey discusses the ways in which
Schoenberg clearly explores new ideas in these pieces in the
context of his old style. Op.23 marked the development of a new way
of organizing pitches and establishing centres of gravity in the
absence of tonality; but it was also an extension of what had gone
before. While moving on from Op.23 was not a big step for
Schoenberg, it represented a climacteric in the history of musical
composition. It was a long time before anyone outside of
Schoenberg's circle would be able to see past the revolutionary
idea of composing from a single pre-determined arrangement of the
12 notes of the chromatic scale to notice that in most ways this
New Music answered the same conditions and fulfilled the same
expectations that music had for generations.
