	Ernst Krenek biography - 8notes.com
		Ernst Křenek (August 23, 1900 - December 22, 1991) was an Austrian-born composer; throughout his life he insisted that his name be written Krenek rather than Křenek, and that it should be pronounced as a German word.
		During World War I, Krenek was drafted into the Austrian Army, but he was stationed in Vienna, allowing him to go on with his musical studies.
		In 1922 he met Gustav Mahler's daughter, Anna, and her mother, Alma, who asked Krenek to complete her late husband's Symphony No. 10.

	Ernst Krenek, Symphony No. 2, Op. 12
		Krenek later recalled the general "shockwave" caused by the 86-year old emperor’s death: "Even more clearly than at the outbreak of war people realized that an era had come to an end".
		It is no coincidence that Krenek later described the symphony with phrases like "a giant raging in a cage" or his own efforts as "dreadful exertions to break through the bars".
		Krenek exaggerates Mahler’s dissolution of tonality, fragmented forms, and unrelentingly strict inner structures with an intensity that is almost apocalyptic.

		Ernst Krenek (1900-1991) was among the most prolific composers of the twentieth century, creating hundreds of works encompassing a wide variety of styles and techniques.

		Krenek moved to Palm Springs, California in 1966, where he lived for the rest of his life, continuing to write prolifically and in a freer style.

		The primary phase of Krenek’s composing career, and the one which represents his mature work, came subsequent to 1930; after this point his compositions show the influence of Schoenberg as Krenek begins working in the twelve-tone system which Schoenberg had devised, and much of his compositional output thereafter is based on twelve-tone principles.
		The general comments of Friskin and Freundlich concerning Krenek’s twelve-tone piano music are particularly appropriate with regard to Twenty Miniatures: “Those piano pieces of Krenek written in the twelve-tone manner exhibit a compromise between a ruthless, linear writing (with minimum consideration for the traditional vertical aspects of sound) and the conventional tonal organization of music.
		Krenek’s twelve-tone piano miniatures exhibit a high degree of contrapuntalism, a quality which is a natural consequence of the utilization of twelve-tone compositional principles, and a pronounced lyricism, a quality perhaps not immediately associated with twelve-tone writing.

		Krenek, however, objected to the label 'jazz opera' for Jonny as jazz was idiomatically superimposed rather than absorbed in any integral way.
		Krenek's eclecticism, particularly the return to tonality and Puccinian lyricism, reveals his sceptical attitude towards the role assigned to contemporary music by the Second Viennese School.
		Krenek's setting of a plot in the expressionist mode, concerning oppressed workers ruled by a tyrant whose decision to liberate them for a day drives them into a delirium, marked the beginning of a life-long involvement with the nature and implications of different kinds of freedom without promoting any particular ideology.

		Ernst Křenek’s involvement with Schreker as a pupil of composition extended from 1916 to 1921, encompassing Schreker’s move from Vienna to Berlin.
		Krenek was also a gregarious correspondent, and his many letters from Berlin to his parents, now held in the Stadt- und Landesbibliothek in Vienna, provide a contemporary, and often candid, additional primary source.
		Indeed, the reception of both Schreker’s and Krenek’s music has suffered from the continued currency of an exclusive definitions of modernism, an ironic fate given that both men were in their own ways were so concerned to explore the limits of what was conventionally conceived of as ‘modern’.

		Krenek has written lieder at every stage of his stylistic odyssey, but unlike the sardonic urbane sophistication of some of the earlier songs, these late sets have an autumnal limpidness which is very attractive.
		In Gould, Krenek had one of his most ardent champions and yet it was a championship which he rejected.
		Krenek worked with the pianist and stationed himself in the recording studio across the piano from Madge more or less conducting the performances.

		Ernst Krenek had trained his eye for panoramas during long walks in the mountains.
		Krenek's paintings dating from the later decades of his life, which he has not described in any sequel to his memoirs, have something spontaneous and dashed off without any inner resistance.
		As for American landscapes and the expanses of his new surroundings, Krenek was mainly interested in mountain ranges or valley views apart from topographical features like houses, beaches and highways that are, oddly enough, seen from the middle.

	Commemorating composer Ernst Krenek (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ernst Krenek was one of the most versatile musicians of the 20th century.
		Although Krenek's opera "Jonny spielt auf", in which he used elements of popular music, caused a scandal in 1927, it later became a huge success and is now considered as a milestone of modern-day opera.
		Krenek's major masterpiece, the opera "Karl V.", was withdrawn from the program of the Vienna State Opera - which had commissioned the work - shortly before the world premiere in 1934.

		In 1930 when the Vienna Opera commissioned composer Ernst Krenek to write a stage work of "historical content", many composers were taking Schoenberg's theory of composition with 12 tones very seriously, and Krenek was one of its leading exponents outside of the master's immediate circle.
		In the collaborations Brecht did with Weill (Krenek's first use of this kind of theatre of symbols predates them) the ideas behind the theatre were the difficult part, so the music therefore was not.
		Krenek could write "light", jazz-influenced scores à la Kurt Weill or Hans Eisler when he desired (as in his brilliant Jonny Spielt Auf), but here he chose the most self-serious, complex, hard-on-the-ear music to relay his story.

		If this collection is any indication, Krenek in his old age (these works were written between the ages of 72 and 88) remained productive and quite peppery.
		For all the lyricism residing in his late music, Krenek was also capable of producing a combustible piece like Dyophonie, Op.
		The highest Krenek opus of which I know, Dyophonie is characterized by rapid attacks and snapping pizzicatos.

		His work, always avant-garde, had become increasingly political Hitler banned it and labeled Krenek a "cultural Bolshevist." The composer endured long periods of hardship and neglect before his music, which was much admired by such colleagues as Stravinsky and Alban Berg but strange to American ears, was rediscovered by Europeans after the war.
		Krenek, who in 1945 became an American citizen, has been as experimental and broad-ranging in his compositions as he has been prolific.
		He not only explains Krenek's music in terms that enable us to comprehend and appreciate its character but vividly illustrates how Krenek's imagination has been affected by his experiences, his associates, and the massive social and artistic changes of the twentieth century.

	Robert Taylor (composer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before turning to composition, from a very young age, he played French horn in a variety of orchestras and chamber ensembles.
		Private study in composition was with Ernst Krenek, Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt.
		Early points of departure for these studies were the works of Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern and Ernst Krenek, and later, Milton Babbitt--in particular the theoretical papers and tutelage of the latter.

	The Krenek Sestinas -- Don Mager
		The Austrian and American composer Ernst Krenek’s (b.1900) career stretched from 1919 to 1990, during which he was a trailblazer in a number of movements including Second Viennese School atonalism, expressionism, neo-Schubertian lyricism, twelve tone serialism, total serialism, and post-serial atonality.
		By this point, the European avant garde, especially Stackhausen’s Darmstadt group, vociferously denounced Krenek the theoretician as reactionary; performances of his latest works in Europe were one occasion boycotted by Stackhausen’s disciples.
		During his last decades, Krenek and his wife lived in the desert outside Palm Springs--a locale they had come deeply to love; but has his acclaim in Austria grew in the post-war era, he visited more and more often, rediscovering his boyhood love of the Tyrolean Alps.
