"I never entertained the idea of reforming the artistic structure of the opera with Wozzeck...I wanted to composer good music, to develop musically the contents of Büchner's immortal drama, to translate his poetic language into music; but other than that, when I decided to write an opera, my only intentions, including the technique of composition, were to give the theater what belongs to the theater. In other words, the music was to be so formed as consciously to fulfill its duty of serving the action at every moment." Austrian composer. Along with Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, a member of what is known as the Second Viennese School. Alban Berg's music demonstrates better than any other the individual expressive qualities possible within the highly structured style developed by the composers of the Second Viennese School.

For this reason, he is the most easily approached composer of this style. Woyzeck . The play had a great impact on Berg, and he began immediately to transform the work into an opera (

Webern Mahler and Debussy , it is brilliantly conceived and points towards Wozzeck - and towards 12-note serialism, notably in its final passacaglia. More immediately Berg produced another set of compact statements, the Four Pieces for clarinet and piano op.5 (1913), then returned to large form with the Three Orchestral Pieces op.6 (1915), a thematically linked sequence of prelude, dance movement and funeral march. The prelude begins and ends in the quiet noise of percussion; the other two movements show Berg's discovery of how traditional forms and stylistic elements (including tonal harmony) might support big structures. Woyzeck Wozzeck had its premiere in Berlin in 1925 and thereafter was widely produced, bringing Berg financial security. His next work, the Chamber Concerto for violin, piano and 13 wind (1925), moves decisively towards a more classical style: its three formally complex movements are still more clearly shaped than those of the op.6 set and the scoring suggests a response to

Series Search our Catalogue Detailed Search Alban Berg (Vienna, 1885 - Vienna, 1935) World War I - that Great Divide in modern history - cut across the middle years of Alban Berg's too-short life, transforming his native Vienna, which had been the hub of Franz Joseph's vast, multicultural empire, into the capital of a small, inward-looking republic. But Berg, who was born on 9 February 1885, was profoundly rooted in the old Vienna - the Vienna of daring, cosmopolitan creative minds: Sigmund Freud and his disciples, the writers Arthur Schnitzler and Karl Kraus, the painters Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, the architect Adolf Loos and the composers Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg. Within days of having finished the work, Berg developed a painful abcess on his back. Over the next four months the infection persisted and worsened, and on 24 December 1935 he died in a Vienna hospital, at the age of 50. Thus on 19 April 1936, when Krasner and the conductor Hermann Scherchen gave the concerto its premiere at a festival of the International Society of Contemporary Music in Barcelona, it was heard as a memorial to its composer as well. It was also destined to remain one of the last important works created in what was left of the cosmopolitan Vienna of bygone days: two years later, Hitler entered the city in triumph.

B BERG, ALBAN BIOGRAPHY Alban Berg, with Anton Webern and their teacher Arnold Schoenberg, together make up the group of composers generally known as the Second Viennese School in the early years of the twentieth century. The technical compositional systems developed by Schoenberg, a logical extension of Wagnerian chromaticism, had a profound effect on the course of music throughout the century, as traditional tonalities and keys were seemingly abandoned, dissonances differently handled and principles of musical unity developed into a very different language. Born in Vienna in 1885, Berg was the son of a prosperous businessman. He had little formal musical education, although he attempted his first compositions in 1901, but owed the training he had to Schoenberg, whose pupil he became in 1904, after he left school and began unpaid work as an apprentice civil servant. Bergs father had died in 1900 and he persuaded his mother to allow him to give up the government career for which he had been trained in order to manage the family properties, enhanced by inheritance that settled them in the comfortable suburb of Hietzing, near the Palace of Schnbrunn. The cultural milieu in Vienna was a stimulating one, with innovative writers and artists. While Mahler presided at the Court Opera, aesthetic boundaries were extended by composers such as Richard Strauss and Franz Schreker. Schoenbergs

Home Page Alban Berg Life The Austrian composer Alban Berg was a pupil of Arnold Schönberg With Anton Webern , he was a leading figure in the so-called Second Viennese School which ushered in the use of atonality, music without tonality or key-centre, and the twelve-note system or serialism, music based on a series of the 12 semitones or half-steps of the modern scale, and profoundly influenced the music of the 20th century. Alban Berg Works Berg wrote two important operas, Wozzeck, a study of insanity, based on the play by Buechner, and the unfinished Lulu, based on Wedekind. Berg's Violin Concerto and Chamber Concerto are an important part of 20th century repertoire. His Lyric Suite for string quartet was later orchestrated in part, while the delicately orchestrated Three Pieces of 1914-1915 form an occasional part of modern concert repertoire.
