A sample of the early, tonal music of Schoenberg overshadowed by his later endeavors in serialism. Piano reduction accompanies.

  • the piece is called "waldtaube" ("pidgeon of the woods") instead of "waltraube" ("whale grape" xD)...

    thanks for uploading, anyway ^^

  • Good call! I didn't even realize I'd misspelled it. Thanks!

  • @VladekMeyer83 also(not to be a bitch about it) in bar 110 (2:12) it's not "und den Tod" but "fand den Tod"

  • @rancodanca, thanks for pointing it out. :)

  • @fishbrot Haha! Whale grape! Love it!

  • @OceanderTethyseus What a well thought out, educated statement you have just made. I would love to have conversations with you in person, I'm sure they would be stimulating and intellectual

  • shoenberg was a steaming pile of dog crap

  • As it was, when Franz Schreker did conduct the proper première of the whole work in 1913, it was after great difficulty! Nevertheless, apparently the work was a major triumph for Schönberg - though he disdained the audience reaction given what he was then really working with.

  • Who're the performers, please?

    Otherwise, it was this arrangement of the "Lied der Waldtaube" that got enough people sufficiently interested in the piece so as to be willing to risk putting on the entire cantata. [When needing 145-150 instrumentalists, a minimum of 5 voice-soloists (if 1 also speaks), 2 giant mixed choirs and 1 more large male-chorus, nobody would think then of putting it on 'cold-turkey', in part also due to Schönberg's already-forbidding reputation.]

  • You may have precised that this is a transcription for small orchestra, not the original version.

    Nice, anyway.

  • This is really fucking beatiful.
