Narratives of Identity in Alban Berg's "Lulu" (Eastman Studies in Music, 110)

Dr Silvio dos Santos

4.9/5 (14642 ratings)

Description:Exploring the crossroads between autobiographical narrative and musical composition, this book examines Berg's transformation of Frank Wedekind's "Erdgeist" and" Die Buchse der Pandora" -- the plays used in the formation of the libretto for "Lulu" -- according to notions of gender identity, social customs, and the aesthetics of modernity in the Vienna of the 1920s and 1930s. While Berg modernized several aspects of the plays and incorporated serial techniques of composition from Arnold Schoenberg, he never let go of the idealistic Wagnerian perspectives of his youth. In fact, he went as far as reconfiguring aspects of Richard Wagner's life as an ideal identity to be played out in the compositional process. In composing the opera, Berg also reflected on the most important cultural figures in fin-de-siecle Vienna that affected his worldview, including Karl Kraus, Emil Lucka, Otto Weininger, and others.. Combining analysis of Berg's correspondence, numerous sketches for "Lulu," and the finished work with interpretive models drawn from cultural studies and philosophy, this book elucidates the ways in which Berg grappled at the end of his life with his self-image as an "incorrigible romantic," and explains aspects of his musical language that have been considered strange or anomalous in Berg scholarship. Silvio J. dos Santos is assistant professor of musicology at the University of Florida."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
