Although Berg decided immediately after seeing Buchner's play
Woyzeck in May 1914 to set it to music, he did not complete his
opera until 1922, with the Berlin premiere taking place in 1925.
Berg's Wozzeck traces the composer's slow but determined progress.
Using compositional sketches, diaries, notebooks and other archival
material, author Patricia Hall reveals the challenges Berg
faced--from his induction as a soldier in World War I, to the
hyperinflation of the twenties. In addition to the precise
chronology of the opera, the sketches show how Berg derived
large-scale form from the Buchner text, and how his compositional
style evolved during the nine years in which he composed the opera.
A comprehensive visual database on the book's companion website of
the extant sketches from seven archives in the United States,
Germany and Austria allows the reader to examine, for the first
time, Berg's sketches in high resolution color scans.
