Theodor W. Adorno - Studies for String Quartet - Movement 3

The third part of Adornos Studies for String Quartet. Again he's reflecting a specific movment of string quartets. The - in total - six studies were composed 1920, before Adorno went to Vienna in 1925 to study composition with Alban Berg. Berg was along with Arnold Schönberg one of the most influential composer of 12-tone music (Dodecaphony). This 'New Music' were often reflected in Adornos theoretical work. For an introduction to this work you can read 'Essays on Music' (2002) edited and commentated by Richard Leppert.
My video plays along with the music and is my personal interpretation of it. Hope you enjoy!

The music used in this video is performed by the Leipzig String Quartet (Leipziger Streichquartett). If you like the music please buy the CD (Theodor W. Adorno - Hanns Eisler, Works for String Quartet)

@statewithinastateuk Who? Adorno or me? Please explain a little bit further, because this seems to be an odd accusation for someone complaining about the "white youths" short-comming. What you do not understand is that the current battle has nothing to do with "whites" or "non-whites". It is the battle for the survival of the idea and base of enlightenment. And enlightenment does know nothing about race.

Ere this I should have fatted all the region kites with this slave's offal: bloody, bawdy villain! Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain! O, vengeance!

This piece is like a broken Frère Jacques! "Where is Thumbkin?" "He was sent to a communist re-education center." "Oh."
