Description
The Cambridge Companion to Berg explores the complex and often contradictory world of Alban Berg's music. Despite his intense self-criticism and relatively small body of work, Berg created some of the most powerful operas of the 20th century, including Wozzeck and Lulu. This comprehensive guide brings together a team of experts who offer diverse perspectives on Berg's life and music, situating it within its cultural and historical context. The Companion recontextualises Berg's work against the broader backdrop of early 20th-century musical trends, aesthetics, and ideas. By examining Berg's substantial works in depth, this Companion provides a nuanced understanding of his place in the history of classical music.
