| | Anton Webern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Webern was not a prolific composer; just thirty-one of his compositions were published in his lifetime, and when Pierre Boulez oversaw a project to record all of his compositions, including those without opus numbers, the results fit on just six CDs. | | | For a number of years, Webern wrote pieces which were freely atonal, much in the style of Schoenberg's early atonal works. | | | This gives Webern's work a great motivic unity, although this is often disguised by his technique of moving a single melodic line around different instruments. |

| | The gratification of the intellect and of the senses is inseparable in art. | | | Of the three pre-eminent masters of modern Viennese music, Webern stands alone in that he seems to have been born to the system, to have lacked his natural element until he adopted it, and to have established its devices as the rhetoric at the base of his musical consciousness. | | | No matter how radical may be the stylistic divergencies of Berg or Schoenberg, their architectural designs, (the time element in their music) may, with few exceptions, be classed among the predertemined patterns of rococco and early romantic art. |

| | Stefan George and Anton Webern |
| | Webern was no stranger to this fervor: the young composer was clearly struggling between his early training in the late Romantic tradition and the modernist calls of the new musical directions. | | | Webern's early childhood pieces were strongly influenced by Wagner, and even his first published works remained within a tonal and fairly traditional style. | | | Significantly, this choir, Webern's step into the uncharted waters of the new school, is a setting of George's "Entflieht auf leichten Kähnen." In fact, both Webern's transition to atonality and, a few years later, to twelve-tone music, are marked by an abundance of text settings, the majority of which are poems by Stefan George. |

| | ANTON WEBERN |
| | Anton Webern is the father in my opinion of modern advante guarde music and his compositions were way ahead of their time. | | | Webern received his first musical instruction from his mother, an amateur pianist. | | | In his 12 tone scene, non-tonality was possible, no longer did music have to sound nice, or be a certain length, etc, and a whole new world opened up for me. Of course I had to unlearn harmony which even today is sometimes hard to do. |

| | MTO 4.2: Alpern, Review, Webern and the Lyric Impulse |
| | Challenging his conventional image as a "cerebral master of control," she paints an intimate portrait of a lyrical composer of Lieder in the line of Schubert and Wolf, whose intellectual concern for logical coherence is tempered by an intuitive appreciation of the expressive potential of ambiguity. | | | [21] Shreffler discerns that Webern's final serial period represents a synthesis between the disjunction of his early period and the lyricism of his middle period, culminating in a hybrid "disjunct lyricism." He eventually blended the aphoristic, verticalized pointillism of the instrumental miniatures with the fluid, horizontal counterpoint of his songs. | | | Webern's experience in writing through composed vocal music thus "predisposed" him to "writing rows melodically and accompanying them with similar linear figures" (p.18). |

| | Meanwhile he had continued his atonal style, mostly in songs: the relatively few instrumental pieces of 1909-14 had grown ever shorter, ostensibly because of the lack of any means of formal extension in a language without key or theme. | | | His use of the series as a source of similar motifs, especially in instrumental works, merely emphasizes the almost geometrical perfection of this music, for which he found literary stimulus in Goethe and, more nearly, in the poetry of his friend and neighbour Hildegard Jone, whose words he set exclusively during his last dozen years. | | | Unlike Schönberg, he never again sought to compose in any other way. |

| | Anton Webern Recordings |
| | Webern had an almost ascetic sense of composition, writing a mere 31 works, nearly all of them brief, and compacting the 12-tone studies of Schoenberg into works that seem miniature in comparison to modernism's other stalwart pieces. | | | From alternative music to zydeco, bebop to hip-hop, the Essentials will lead you to the hundreds of artists and thousands of recordings that matter. | | | Anton Webern (1883-1945) had the misfortune of being accidentally shot dead by an American soldier in September 1945, well after the war in Europe had ended. |
