Wow, I cannot thank enough the person who put this video and the lectures before it up. Incredibly informative, and lets me really understand the piece in a way that I didn't see it before.
I don't agree that forgiveness is either sought by one or offered by the other, as a prerequisite of love. It is more that both of them fear that her unhappiness with the person by whom she is pregnant, will somehow put her love for the person she now walks with beyond their mutual reach.
But, OMgoddess, as an evocation of the transcendental power of love
"Oh see how brightly the universe gleams, there is a radiance on everything..."
I went to hear the Philharmonia play Berg's Three Pieces for Orchestra and Mahler's 7th symphony on 11 June at the RFH. I was speechless for hours, wandering on the South Bank looking across the Thames as if in wonderland.
There is love and there is music and philosophy and conversation with friends, and nothing else in the world.
I don't like nasty people. Someone who imagines knocking me under a train qualifies as nasty. Perhaps you were teasing. Perhaps you are so accustomed to venomous thoughts you don't regard such violent expressiveness as remarkable.
Maybe you do not find music is so thrilling, that it feels like planetary collisions or the transcendental erotic. For me, it is like that.

A nice interpretation of the Dehmel and the score.Schoenberg's genius shines through.

So, I'm pretentious?

"I don't like nasty people."
Is that why you are on friendly terms with so many BNP types?
