Anton Webern

  • #ClassicsaDay #SymYesNo Week 1

    Sep 10th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SymYesNo, Anton Webern, Claude Debussy, Ethel Smyth, Twitter

    For the month of September, the Classics a Day team chose a controversial theme. There is a small subset of symphonic works within the classical repertoire that appear misnamed. Most composers choose their titles carefully. But when the title runs counter to expectations, disagreements arise. What does the title “symphony” mean? Can a composition be […]

The challenge is to select stand-alone works, not movements of larger pieces. Participants post links to short classical pieces in the social media channel of their choice, […]

    Music and Context: Webern in Mayberry

    Nov 4th, 2009 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Webern, Contemporary classical, video

    I always find it interesting when people tell me they don’t like “contemporary” music. And generally, they’re not talking about music composed within the last few years — they mean Arnold Schoenberg and his dodecaphonic disciples, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. You know, the composers that ruined classical music. Except, of course, that they really […]
