  • Yes, a firm grip is still clinging to Romanticism through a great majority of the 20th Century, but you can't call it Romantic period music.

  • @Aquired2 I'm enjoying the comments! Haven't had this much fun since college, arguing about composition. Many composers I've known/spoken with think there is such a thing as "lightly" or "weak" 12 tone writing. Others are much more particular and say, "Nope. Either it is or it ain't, nothing in between." And other theorists who've I've heard lecture on this say that the tonality is so extended, that it can be called "almost atonal". Quien sabe?

  • Only act I scene 4. It has a Passacaglia-theme which ís dodecaphonic and on which Berg goes on to variate. These scenes are an 'invention' on a six-note chord which is constantly present, until the exit of Hauptmann and Doktor, an 'invention' on a key (D minor, the intermezzo is thereby to be classified as 'tonal'), the last is a moto perpetuo based on the quaver. Something can't be lightly dodecaphonic, it depends on the rules applied by the composer to 12-tones.

  • @RickvanVeldhuizen Oops! You're right (more or less)!  It's not serial, true, but it is weakly 12 tone, WEAKLY mind you. Berg did reject serialism true, I ought to have known that.

  • @johnmannno This is not serial music. It's not even dodecaphonic. Wozzeck is atonal, yet not in any way serial; it's at times expanded tonality, expanded harmony but all the time supreme inventiveness not yet succeeded.

  • The Matrix meets Tweedledee&Tweedledum XD 3:37

  • das ist ja mal krank

    aber iwie mag ichs

  • not quite romantic enough to call it that... but he did certainly try to hold onto romanticism - certainly more so than the any other dodecaphonic composers
