They really handled this well without a conductor.

Can ye recommend me the most atonal and chaotic piece by Webern? Just found out this awesome genious and the disturbed atmosphere together with almost hysterical chaotic atonality is absolutely most brilliant music I've ever heard.

[KBOH0301]

For sheer atonality and chaos, check out Webern's Five Movements (opus 5) or Six Pieces for Orchestra (opus 6). You won't be disappointed.

I listened to the whole thing, but I tried it and I don't like it.

[maestrojubal]

Excellent musik!

[Feliponk]

Bella interpretación.

[MusicOnTheFly]

@Feliponk Yes it's beautiful, for my taste TOO beautiful, I personally prefer to make this music a lot more expressive in the sense of the pre-WWI Vienna decadence and crisis of tonality! It's completely legitimate to see it this way too, but it doesn't touch and move me at all.

(punktuelle Musik) Punctualism .. its supposed to be short.. with pauses... :)

[zmeadows87]

Amazing. I think Webern provides a good bridge and starting place for someone interested in atonal music.

[bwhahrhr]

I would rather recomend Berg as Webern is to compact in most of his pices to get a understanding for whats happening (opus 9 as a extrem example. its over before most people even notice it). In addition to that berg is still somewhat "tonal" or at least some parts are (:

[ExMachine]

I agree with zmeadows87. I think you would have to try hard to get bored listening to a Webern piece. I find such brevity and compactness both admirable and welcoming.

@zmeadows87 I absolutely agree. I finally made the breakthrough listening to this composition, although if you'd asked me beforehand, I'd have said that Webern was the least approachable of the Second Viennese School composers.
