Description

This groundbreaking study by Cambridge University Press examines Anton Webern's formative tonal works, a significant body of music that has long been overlooked in favour of his atonal and serialist compositions. By exploring the generative elements of Webern's creative vision and the philosophical foundations of musical modernism, this first comprehensive book-length account traces how the young composer engaged with and contributed to the cultural debates of fin-de-siecle modernism. Rather than focusing solely on his renowned post-war serial techniques, this work reveals the complex and variegated ways Webern navigated the artistic movements of his era. Essential for music scholars, students of modernism, and anyone seeking to understand one of the twentieth century's most influential composers beyond the familiar narrative of atonality and serialism.

Key Features

Examines Anton Webern's overlooked tonal music, providing the first comprehensive book-length study of this significant compositional period.

Explores the generative elements of Webern's aesthetic imagination and how they shaped his approach to fin-de-siecle modernism.

Traces Webern's engagement with early twentieth-century cultural discourses and his contributions to avant-garde artistic movements.

Published by Cambridge University Press, part of the respected Music in Context series for academic study.

Offers essential context for understanding Webern's development before his famous atonal and serial works gained prominence.
