| | Violin Concerto (Berg) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is another directly quoted tonal passage in the work in the form of a Carinthian folk song in the second movement. | | | In addition, the first four odd-numbered notes correspond to the open strings of the violin, from bottom to top, and it is exactly this gesture which opens the piece. | | | While parts of the score are atonal, as is the norm in twelve tone works, some parts can be said to be in a certain key, and quotes of purely tonal music are also present. |

| | Berg's Violin Concerto 1935 |
| | Alban Berg's Violin Concerto of 1935 is a prime example of this trend. | | | The tone-row-accompanied violin phrases contrast sharply with the complete consonance and traditional voice leading of the woodwind "organ." Later on in the piece (p.88 m.184-97) the flowing, chromatic melody is doubled an octave lower in the orchestra, recalling a device of melodic enhancement used extensively in the Romantic period. | | | The Violin Concerto is composed around a "tone row" - a characteristic set of intervals which covers each note of the 12-tone system. |

| | Berg’s Chamber Concerto for violin, piano and 13 wind instruments from 1925 is a tougher piece for this writer to review. | | | Chamber Concerto for Violin, Piano and 13 Wind instruments (1923-1925) | | | That said, Sinopoli makes a great case for this piece to present to people like me. Following an approach similar to the one used in the Violin Concerto, in his hands the hard edges as softened, while the lyrical sections are presented in the beautiful velvet ‘cushion’ the members of the Staatskapelle Dresden provide. |

| | Berg had adored the girl since her earliest childhood, and, harnessing the creative energy that tragedy can inspire, he resolved to compose a musical memorial. | | | Berg's Violin Concerto cuts deep into the human psyche, and it stands near the summit of its genre. | | | Berg told his biographer Willi Reich that in the Andante-Allegretto movement he "had tried to translate the young girl's characteristics into musical characters." A nostalgic, dreamy quality pervades the first section, whose improvisational spirit belies its rigid musical organization. |

| | Berg's Violin Concerto and Chamber Concerto are an important part of 20th century repertoire. | | | Schoenberg's pupils Alban Berg and Anton Webern, each with an individual musical language, put into practice the general principles of atonality, music without tonality or key-centre, and twelve-note music or serialism, music based on a series of the twelve semitones or half-steps of the modern scale. | | | His Lyric Suite, for string quartet, was later orchestrated in part, while the delicately orchestrated Three Pieces of 1914-1915 form an occasional part of modern concert repertoire. |

| | The broad opening paragraph, with its resonant open violin strings echoed by the harp, had a touch of magic to them, and the concerto's slow conclusion -- a series of variations on a chorale melody of Bach -- seemed to stop time. | | | The final few moments, with the violin ascending to and then resting on a stratospheric, indeed celestial, high G, were breathtaking. | | | Thomas also introduced Hindemith's charming, ebullient "Symphonia serena" to the Symphony repertoire, in a performance that managed to showcase nearly all the members of the orchestra. |
