Description
Alban Berg Master of the Smallest Link by Theodor W. Adorno This unique study is a personal account of Alban Berg's life and musical works, written by his mentor, friend and composition teacher. Adorno contributed several analyses to the first Berg biography after Berg's death in 1935, which he later incorporated into this volume thirty years later. The book explores the historical and cultural significance of Berg's music, its relationship to that of other twentieth-century composers, and to the larger issues of contemporary life. It offers a key to understanding Adorno himself as well as providing an individual perspective on one of the major composers of the twentieth century. Available for the first time in English, this study provides valuable insights into the life and work of Alban Berg, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in music history or philosophy.
