Schoenberg: "Suite", Op.29, 1:Ouverture: Allegretto

[somnynightin78]

Back in the time of Dodecaphony's inception it was revolutionary but nowadays more and more people are starting to be okay with this music. Personally I find a lot of Schoenberg's and Berg's dodecaphonic works to be lyrical and rhythmically open, it makes it so organic in a melodic sense.

Genius.

This is such an amazing piece! - with its driving rhythms in the faster mvts and the beautiful and mysterious variations.

Not only wrote Schoenberg "history" with this just awesome music, he rather "wrote future".

Thanks for posting.

Yes, I read it. I like this performance above all others. It "really rocks", in YT-terms... Merci beaucoup, NewMusicXX.

Great post. Which recording can I find this on?

This particular recording is the London Sinfonietta. The Suite Op.29 is paired with the Woodwind Quintet Op.26 (London 433-083-2) I also have it paired with Pierrot Lunaire on a KOCH CD 310 117
