Anyone else notice that the picture of Webern very slowly gets closer and closer and closer?

@PabloRomero1991 Webern worked out the row permutations using lists, the matrix came after him. The sketches are at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Switzerland, I have seen a second hand copy from a friend of mine who has made the trip several times. Op. 21 is 12-tone and some do consider it serial but the serial element doesn't apply to dynamics, meter/rhythm, or articulation, it's more a consequence of the row. Music with the label Serialism is usually associated with the Darmstadt School.

is it really this short? When I heard he had a symphony I thought it would be an hour long piece...

@zsinet3 Why do you call it abstract music?? Do you know why do people call paintings 'abstract'? Because there is a reality from which they are conceived. Picasso is abstract because watermelons dont have edges and corners. Paintings can be realist or abstract, based on their portrayal of the physical universe. But what is the physical reality in music that makes a symphony be abstract or not? I dont think that the diatonic function can be arbitrarily called a reality, it is as abstract as this

Thanks for your annotations - always helpful. I would only ask that you mark the beginning of each of the variations...
-
the progress of the piece moves a bit too rapid to be meaningful
-
In this twelve-tone serialism example, do you think Webern utilized the 12x12 Matrix at all?
Very interesting notes by the way!

Sounds like Cubism

What does op mean?
NekoSofi 1 year ago
@NekoSofi "Op." stands for "opus" meaning "work". The opus number refers to the order of a composers published works.
