how is it made up drama? music creates an individual experience for each listener, but this work was decidedly programmatic. chamber music was the last place absolute music existed until this piece. schoenberg used dehmel's text not only to transfigure musical motives (developing variation-continued from Brahms and Wagner), but also transfigures the realm of chamber music. read some of the critic's reactions to this music, you'll find the drama. especially considering S was so sensitive to it

He's more machine now than man...twisted and evil.

totally, but he is extremely distracting. probably works better as a radio broadcast. viola sounds fantastic.

Is this lecturer man or machine?

You have good pionts. I was knee deep in Harry Partch when I made that comment, which made me a little militant about corporeal vs abstract music, but in the end, yes, this piece is very programmatic. I think Kapilow is a little over the top with it, as a lot of conductors/ commentators for these types of shows tend to be. Thank you for keeping my feet on the ground.
Fantastic piece of chamber music, by a master composer. This Rob Kapilow guy needs to calm down though. His commentary, though right on, is delivered so awkwardly; he's so twitchy. maybe he's nervous.

Well, I think, it's just his way of speaking... A bit strange, I agree, but if one detaches seeds from weeds, IMHO, the info he gives is very useful.
