Schoenberg's Sechs Kleine Klavierstuecke Op. 19 by George Li (16)

The notes perfect. The rests sublime. This is such a positive thing for me and all. Thankyou for this. You will go far. j

Schoenberg is developer of 12 tone matrix (or dodecafony), so it's 12 tone. But your theory about a mix of atonality and 12 tone matrix makes sence. But I'm not an expert of modern music, so I might be wrong! But your question is interesting and I will ask my teacher about it! Best whishes from me!

[pianOracle]

now, my question to experts: Is this ACTUALLY atonal or is this 12-tone based? Many times, 12-tone is confused with atonal music. I personally can't detect the specifics in this piece. Doesn't mean there's no matrix involved!

[Pianist46]

@pianOracle Schoenberg wrote lots of twelve-tone music. I am not sure if this is an example of it, but whether it is twelve-tone or not, it is certainly atonal. All pieces composed in the twelve-tone style are atonal, but not all atonal music is twelve-tone. Make sense?

[pianOracle]

@Pianist46 I sure understand and appreciate the enlightenment! I'm not sure that all 12-tone must be atonal, as I believe tone can be suggested even in 12-tone through accents and timing but then again, I'd probably have to prove that with a composition..... Tnx again for enlightening me!

[Pianist46]

@pianOracle Perhaps a 12-tone composition can seem tonal or suggest a key, but I still think that since all the notes of the chromatic scale are played equally, it cannot truly be considered tonal. But you're welcome! :D

How can he go from 'flight of the bumblebee' to this? I mean.. flight of the bumblebee is much harder.. right?

[emopz13]

@SeivomProductions2 No, this is much harder! The flight of the bumble bee is simple and it's based on basic chromatic scale, which is variated at some places. I don't know why many people think flight of the bumble bee is hard. Atonal music sometimes is not hard technicaly (like this one), but it's very very hard to interpret.

[pianOracle]

@SeivomProductions2 wrong! the notes in flight make perfect sense. these notes must be felt as well as heard.

[emopz13]

@SeivomProductions2 I don't know why some people think that virtuoso pianists have to play and must play only extremely hard music. They have to play what they like to play, no mather is it hard or not!
