  • Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Are there other known english interviews with schoenberg?

  • This is the only one I've come across, but I'm sure there are.

  • art was never there only to reach the common people.

    special things and special art are precious to special people.

    only the majority counts in countries with 'totalitarian' tastes, like perhaps nowadays in italy, where taste is dictated by a selected few under the wings of quasi fascist berlusconi influence

  • not sure what the argument here is on so called "atonal music", which btw Schoenberg himself hated that term. Schoenberg basically found a way to rearrange the same 12 tones found in tonality, except in quiet a different way. Sure, functional tonality has matured through a long evolution until it finally collapsed from the weight of chromatic dissonance. But, this music is a direct extension of that collapse, as well as being part of the evolution of music harmony.

  • Awful, just as modern art is anti-art; this crap is anti-music. Yet observe at all the people here who are doing their best to pretend that its wonderful - group think.

  • I love his voice

  • Very interesting stuff but the music gets in the way in places even though it's quite nice - and I can't hear what he's saying. Please put the music and conversation on separate posts (if you can that is).

  • The music drowned him out a bit toward the end, but I had heard that part of the interview elsewhere. He is talking about having learned his technique for string quartet writing through Mozart.

    Frankly, I liked his art more than his music. I was glad to see him stress the importance of older composers, though...something I think some need to remember today. Interesting that Stravinsky, Bartok, and Hindemith felt the same way about those composers but came to such different conclusions.

  • little bit hard to understand with music&no subs

  • I love his voice. He sounds genius.

  • biggie and beethoven and :)

  • It's hard enough to hear without the music underneath. The interview stands alone and it is easy enough to find the music, so why not leave it out?
