  • The Study of the Relationship Between Arnold Schoenberg and Wassily
    THE STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARNOLD SCHOENBERG AND WASSILY KANDINSKY DURING SCHOENBERG’S EXPRESSIONIST PERIOD D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sohee Kim, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Donald Harris, Advisor Professor Jan Radzynski Professor Arved Mark Ashby Copyright by Sohee Kim 2010 ABSTRACT Expressionism was a radical form of art at the start of twentieth century, totally different from previous norms of artistic expression. It is related to extremely emotional states of mind such as distress, agony, and anxiety. One of the most characteristic aspects of expressionism is the destruction of artistic boundaries in the arts. The expressionists approach the unified artistic entity with a point of view to influence the human subconscious. At that time, the expressionists were active in many arts. In this context, Wassily Kandinsky had a strong influence on Arnold Schoenberg. Schoenberg‟s attention to expressionism in music is related to personal tragedies such as his marital crisis. Schoenberg solved the issues of extremely emotional content with atonality, and devoted himself to painting works such as „Visions‟ that show his anger and uneasiness. He focused on the expression of psychological depth related to Unconscious. Both Schoenberg and Kandinsky gained their most significant artistic development almost at the same time while struggling to find their own voices, that is, their inner necessity, within an indifferent social environment. Both men were also profound theorists who liked to explore all kinds of possibilities and approached human consciousness to find their visions from the inner world.

  • Rethinking Minimalism: at the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism
    Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter Shelley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee Jonathan Bernard, Chair Áine Heneghan Judy Tsou Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music Theory ©Copyright 2013 Peter Shelley University of Washington Abstract Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter James Shelley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Jonathan Bernard Music Theory By now most scholars are fairly sure of what minimalism is. Even if they may be reluctant to offer a precise theory, and even if they may distrust canon formation, members of the informed public have a clear idea of who the central canonical minimalist composers were or are. Sitting front and center are always four white male Americans: La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass. This dissertation negotiates with this received wisdom, challenging the stylistic coherence among these composers implied by the term minimalism and scrutinizing the presumed neutrality of their music. This dissertation is based in the acceptance of the aesthetic similarities between minimalist sculpture and music. Michael Fried’s essay “Art and Objecthood,” which occupies a central role in the history of minimalist sculptural criticism, serves as the point of departure for three excursions into minimalist music. The first excursion deals with the question of time in minimalism, arguing that, contrary to received wisdom, minimalist music is not always well understood as static or, in Jonathan Kramer’s terminology, vertical. The second excursion addresses anthropomorphism in minimalist music, borrowing from Fried’s concept of (bodily) presence.

This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg’s music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked.

  • Schoenberg: 'Peripetie' from Five Orchestral Pieces, Op
    Schoenberg: ‘Peripetie’ from Five Orchestral Pieces, Op. 16 (1909) Learning Objectives: - To know and understand the origins and features of the genre expressionism. - To know about the life and works of Arnold Schoenberg. - To understand how Serialist techniques are used in the set work ‘Peripetie’. Starter: What do you think expressionism is and what do think expressionist musicians, artists and writers were trying to portray? Use the resources provided by Mrs Dunn to help you! ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Key Features of expressionism: Expressionist music is atonal-it avoids being in one particular key and using the main chords in that key, therefore giving each of the 12 semitones equal importance. Each piece generally confines itself to expressing one intense _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Composers make full use of the pitch range of instruments, exploring the difference in instrumental colour that can be heard at the extremes of the instruments registers. Timbre is felt to be as important as melody-the sound of the instruments is felt to contribute to the melody as much as pitch. Extremes of dynamics are common, from as quiet as possible to as loud as possible. This can be even more dramatic in large ensembles when the music can go from just a few instruments playing very quietly to the full ensemble playing very loudly. Pieces tend to be quiet short (it is difficult to write a piece of considerable length without the framework of a key structure and the use of the recognisable themes that can be developed!) Extended learning task: Research the composer Arnold Schoenberg.

  • Dialectical Composing
    Ming Tsao Dialectical Composing Having been asked to write something for the topic Perspectives for Contemporary Music in the Twenty-First Century, I cannot help but be influenced by my compo- sition and teaching activities in Germany for the past seven years where compo- sition seminars are often good indicators for new critical perspectives. Yet I have been surprised that the composition classes of many, if not most, music schools in Germany have been comprised by a majority of non-German students, even non-European students. Could it be the case that critical perspectives on music composition in Germany are in essence ways in which the rich history of the Ger- man-Austrian musical tradition will be reflected by foreign voices? The filmmak- er Jean-Marie Straub, when filming Hölderlin’s Der Tod des Empedokles in 1986, defended his use of foreign actors where German was not their mother tongue by stating that because of Germany’s recent history only through “foreign tongues” could the language of Hölderlin be heard and appreciated.1 The poet Lyn Hejini- an continues this idea in her essay Barbarism—a term originating from the Ancient Greek as foreigner or “someone not belonging to the dominant linguistic commu- nity”—by which she states that a “barbarian art” is one “intimately occupied with the strangeness of its native terrain.”2 And with such terrain, one can “become the advocate and topographer of border states”3 for the purpose of “reestablishing life on marginal territory, and making lines of contact between marginality and the domestic security which usually suppresses such knowledge.”4 In music, such lines of contact suggest a dialectical exchange between “uprooted” categories of sensa- tion such as rhythm, meter, consonance, melody, pathos—uprooted by “resisting every form of domestication” and “corroding the boundaries of the old, ruling 1 Barton Byg, Landscapes of Resistance: The German Films of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Ma- rie Straub (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995), p.

PhDr. Csaba Szaló, Ph.D. Year: 2021 Number of Pages: 90 Keywords: music, social action, ideal-typical conception, agency, phenomenology, Expressionism, Avant-Gardism, The Second Viennese School, Arnold Schoenberg 2 SHIFTING THE ROLE AND MEANING OF COMPOSITION: SOCIOLOGICAL PROBE INTO THE EXPRESSIONIST AVANT-GARDISM Abstract This Master's thesis applies selected methodological approaches related to examin- ing both dynamics of social action and producing subjective meanings in connection with the Avant-Garde Expressionist composers of the Second Viennese School. We- berian ideal-typical conception is a central methodological point of departure which is extended by the concept of agency as well as Schutzian non-historical phenome- nological perspective relating to intersubjective nature of experience. The author offers his own ideal-typical constructs of avant-garde music and examines its func- tional nexus with composers' capabilities to act independently of the sociocultural structures. Furthermore, the thesis offers a unique insight into the very nature of highly ambiguous behavior that shaped the avant-garde endeavors. The reader is thus offered a perspective into the social dynamics of collective intentions shifting the role and meaning of music composition.

  • Impressionism and Expressionism
    Impressionism and Expressionism Impressionism and Expressionism are not only found in music but also in art. Impressionism in art had its start at around 1870 in France. The impressionistic art illustrates the world around us with a focus on colours and different shades. The word term impressionism comes from Claude Monet’s work “Impression- a sunrise”. In contrast to impressionist painters, expressionist artist weren't so much concerned about truthful motives and nice forms. They more so wanted to share and pass on their feelings. In Expressionism it is more about what goes on in the human himself than in his environment. “The Scream” from Edvard Munch is a representable piece of art of the Expressionist era. Like the Impressionist art the music from this period focuses on the colours rather than on the form. This means that impressionist composers didn't want to write in a special musical form as the Viennese Classic or the Romantic did. There for impressionist music isn't bound to any rules given by a musical form. More importantly they concentrated on the tone colour to convey the atmosphere and the mood of a specific moment. Often musical ideas aren't brought to an end and are mixed with others to create one timbre. In impressionist music scales are used without any specific rules. A whole range of different types of scales are used like the chromatic, pentatonic, whole note scale or even modes. Bitonality or Polytonality aren't uncommonly used which shows once again that the timbre is more important than any rules implemented by other composers.

  • VERGE 13 Mark Blair Crossroads of Boulez and Cage: Automatism In
    VERGE 13 Mark Blair Crossroads of Boulez and Cage: Automatism in Music The twentieth century is simultaneously and paradoxically the most progressive and regressive era in human history to date. While the accelerated rate of technological growth that occurred in this century provided an unprecedented standard of convenient living, it is also accountable for the swift annihilation of millions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Improvements in communication and transportation shrunk the world to a previously unimaginable size, yet political and provincial conflict on a global scale made different regions seem farther removed from each other than ever before. Likewise, the music of this century is filled with contrast. Like any of an individual’s traits and behavioral patterns, music is a product of its social environment. As author Reginald Smith Brindle writes, “Music has always reflected the outside world and sublimated it, breathing the mysticism of the medieval epoch, the poetry and finesse of the Elizabethan court, the superficial charms and graces of the rococo period, and so on” (1). Being a century fraught with two world wars, a four-decade nuclear standoff, and several revolutions and subsequent counter-revolutions, composers of the twentieth century had no shortage of social fodder to influence highly varied music. The musical timeline in this century begins with the breakdown of tonality, with late romantic/early modernist composers such as Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911) and Richard Strauss (1864 – 1949) setting the trend. From there, the second Viennese School took the baton, with its leader, Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874 -1951), bringing structure to atonal composition via his twelve-tone technique.

  • Expressionist Music 1 Expressionist Music
    Expressionist music 1 Expressionist music Expressionism as a musical genre is difficult to exactly define. It is, however, one of the most important movements of 20th Century music. The three central figures of musical expressionism are Arnold Schoenberg and his pupils, Anton Webern and Alban Berg, the so-called Second Viennese School. Musical expressionism is defined in a narrow sense as embracing most of Schoenberg’s post-tonal but pre-twelve-tone music, which is to say that of his "free atonal" period, roughly from 1908 to 1921. More broadly, other music from the same period with shared characteristics is also included (Fanning 2001). It can therefore be said to begin with Schoenberg's Second String Quartet (written 1907–08) in which each of the four movements gets progressively less tonal. The third movement is arguably atonal and the introduction to the finale is very chromatic, arguably has no tonal centre, and features a soprano singing "Ich fühle Luft von anderem Planeten" ("I feel the air of another planet"), taken from a poem by Stefan George. This may be Arnold Schoenberg, the key figure in the Expressionist movement. representative of Schoenberg entering the 'new world' of atonality. In 1909, Schoenberg composed the one act 'monodrama' Erwartung (Expectation). This is a thirty minute, highly expressionist work in which atonal music accompanies a musical drama centered around a nameless woman. Having stumbled through a disturbing forest, trying to find her lover, she reaches open countryside. She stumbles across the corpse of her lover near the house of another woman, and from that point on the drama is purely psychological: the woman denies what she sees and then worries that it was she who killed him.
