{"title":"Schoenberg, Arnold","description":"\u003cp\u003eArnold Schoenberg or Schönberg was an Austrian and American modernist composer, music theorist, teacher, and writer who propounded developing variation and the emancipation of the dissonance. He worked in Vienna and Berlin, and taught at the Prussian Academy of Arts (1925–1933). Facing Nazi Germany's civil–service restrictions, he resigned and defiantly reaffirmed his Judaism, then immigrated to the United States, teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles (1936–1944), where facilities bear his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerklärte Nacht, Pierrot Lunaire, Moses und Aron.

A first sketch dates fromJune of that year; the fair copy of the short score was already finished at the end of December. In addition to the piano part it contains the orchestral setting in reduced form, condensed onto a few staves. However, it already displays all specifications concerning the instrumentation and is also completely marked-up in terms of dynamics and phrasing. This easily readable fair-copy autograph is a central document of the work's transmission and is now published here for the first time in a facsimile edition, made in cooperation with the Arnold Schönberg Center, Vienna. In their scholarly introduction, the two Schönberg experts Therese Muxeneder and Katharina Bleier present the history of the work and its formal conception in exemplary fashion, and at the same time explain the special features of the manuscript. Additionally, and in a separate chapter, Verena Graf describes how the autograph was painstakingly restored shortly before being reproduced in this facsimile. Produced in high-quality four-colour printing, wrapped in Pacific blue and bound in fine linen, the edition offers a fascinating insight into Schönberg's notation and compositional thinking. A worthy contribution by G. Henle Publishers and the Arnold Schönberg Center to Arnold Schönberg's 150th birthday in 2024!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Facsimile Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53481218638142,"sku":"51483231","price":181.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/51483231-wl.jpg?v=1778703021"},{"product_id":"transfigured-night-op-4-arnold-schoenberg","title":"Transfigured Night Op. 4","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn setting Richard Dehmel's poem “Verklärte Nacht” (Transfigured Night) in his op. 4, the young Arnold Schönberg pursued the intention, as he himself said, of “attempting those new forms in chamber music which have been created in orchestral music based on a poetic idea”. Composed in September 1899 in a few weeks whilst he was on holiday, the Sextet incorporates the ideas of the symphonic poem in its programmatic character and its one-movement form, and also displays late Romantic traits in its opulent tone. Already at its premiere in 1902 in Vienna, the special quality of the work was recognised, characterised by “peculiar sound combinations and groundbreaking figures”, a work which was to become a true modern classic in the 20th century. For this Urtext edition, both the autograph score and the 1905 first edition have been consulted, as well as Schönbergs personal copies which are preserved in Vienna and contain numerous markings by the composer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484229886270,"sku":"51487565","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/51487565-wl.jpg?v=1778800181"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/collections\/E9_98_BF_E8_AF_BA_E5_BE_B7_C2_B7_E5_8B_8B_E4_BC_AF_E6_A0_BC_E8_82_96_E5_83_8F.jpg?v=1778772551","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/en-cn\/collections\/schoenberg-arnold.oembed","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
