Book excerpt: Schoenberg's twelve-tone method of composition has proved to be one of the most enduring and influential ideas in the history of music. Yet until now, little attention has been devoted to the evolution of his method and the refinement of his compositional technique. Drawing upon Schoenberg's papers, sketches, and manuscripts, as well as his scores, this book traces the development of his twelve-tone serial idea from its rudimentary beginnings in 1914 to the highly refined works of his mature period.

Download or read book Schoenberg and the Twelve tone Technique written by Marlene Joyce Arnold and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the weakening of the tonal system at the end of the nineteenth century came experiments with new systems such as multitonality, polytonality, neomodality, and atonality. The outstanding technique in atonality was the development of the twelve-tone system which uses the twelve tones of the chromatic scale in a specific order designed by the composer with variations derived from the retrograde, inversion, retrograde inversion or transpotitions of the original form. The composer usually considered the originator of the twelve-tone technique is Arnold Schoenberg. The beginnings and subsequent development of the technique may be traced i nhis works. He reactivated the acquisitions of the music of the past, was brought to a gradual suspension of the tonal system and thus, to the new twelve-tone system, which, organized in his hands, became the most radical innovation of modern music. Two of this best known and most ardent pupils were Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Berg's works are usually considered a link between Schoenberg's work and the past while Webern's works show a concern with the future possibilities of the twelve-tone system.

Download or read book Twelve Tone Tonality Second Edition written by George Perle and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996-07-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge, in twentieth-century music, to the normative status of triadic tonality is one of the most far-reaching and extreme revolutions that the history of music has known. In his classic work, Twelve-Tone Tonality, George Perle argues that the seemingly disparate styles of post-triadic music in fact share common structural elements. According to Perle, these elements collectively imply a new tonality as "natural" and coherent as the major-minor tonality that was the basis of a common musical language in the past. His book describes the foundational assumptions of this post-diatonic tonality and illustrates its compositional functions with numerous musical examples. The second edition of Twelve-Tone Tonality is enlarged by eleven new chapters. Some of these are "postscripts" to earlier chapters, clarifying, elucidating, and expanding upon concepts discussed in the original edition. Others discuss new developments in the theory and practice of twelve-tone tonality, including voice-leading implications of the system and dissonance treatment. Errors discovered in the original edition have been corrected. - Jacket flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Musical Composition represents the culmination of more than forty years in Schoenberg's life devoted to the teaching of musical principles to students and composers in Europe and America. For his classes he developed a manner of presentation in which 'every technical matter is discussed in a very fundamental way, so that at the same time it is both simple and thorough'.

On the one hand, it has the practical objective of introducing students to the process of composing in a systematic way, from the smallest to the largest forms; on the other hand, the author analyses in thorough detail and with numerous illustrations those particular sections in the works of the masters which relate to the compositional problem under discussion.
