Dr. Takt über Arnold Schönbergs »Begleitungsmusik zu einer Lichtspielscene« / Takt 172-177 - Deutsche Oper Berlin

Dr Takt is very familiar with the work and reveals to us its special moments.

Dr Takt on Arnold Schönberg's »Begleitungsmusik zu einer Lichtspielscene« / Measures 172-177

This is the 21st episode in our series of videos with Dr Takt

Tobias Kratzer has prepended his production of Alexander von Zemlinsky's DER ZWERG with a scenic prelude addressing Zemlinsky's tragic love for Alma Schindler. Schönberg's uncompromising, dodecaphonic, yet also highly expressive "Accompaniment" plays: Schönberg turns the base sequence of the piece into ever new musical, sensory components, each with specific sonic and gestic characteristics. For example, consider measures 172-177 in the piece's quiet conclusion. The first five tones in the sequence are layered as a brass chord that forms the sonic pivot of this section in irregular repetitions. Bassoon, piano and low strings counter this with a broad melody consisting of the seven remaining tones in the sequence, crying out against the brass in one final, desperate plea. —
