Topic: Piano Concerto Schoenberg


  
  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Arnold Schoenberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Schoenberg's music had made a break from tonality, which greatly polarised responses to it: his followers and students saw him as one of the most important figures in music, while critics hated his work, on the whole.
Schoenberg was also a painter of considerable individuality, whose pictures were considered good enough to exhibit alongside those of Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, and he wrote extensively: plays and poems, as well as essays not only about music but about politics and the social/historical situation of the Jewish people.
Schoenberg suffered from triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number thirteen); it is said that the reason his late opera is called Moses and Aron, rather than Moses and Aaron (the correct spelling with two As) is because the latter spelling has thirteen letters in it.

Unlike Schoenberg, Hauer did not proceed from tone-rows in a fixed order although the compressed notes (or, possibly, their translation) makes it very difficult to understand what must be a very complex compositional method.
The concerto is quite approachable too, an 18-minute, three-movement piece whose headings suggest the dance also ("Entrée", "Pas de deux" and "Coda") and which, as the composer freely admits in the notes, was strongly influenced by Schoenberg's piano concerto and Survivor from Warsaw.
The Concerto Grosso is a lovely neo-classical work and both it and the Concertino have moments reminiscent of the great 20th century English string serenades (although the composer is Catalan, there is no marked Iberian presence in the music).
