to listen to papers given at last week’s symposium at the Arnold Schönberg
Center in Vienna. They will be available online for a fortnight, so hurry or at
least canter, whilst stocks last. They include me on Moses und Aron, a paper which
will subsequently be developed into a longer piece, talking more about
productions, for the Journal of the Arnold Schönberg Center, and a wide range
of other Schoenbergian studies, ranging from a comparison (in the opening
keynote lecture) of some of Schoenberg’s religious ideas with those of Karl
Barth, again concentrating on Moses,
to the role of Marya Freund (admired by, amongst others, Boulez) as performer
of his music, from Schoenberg’s ‘public musicology’ as writer of record booklet
notes to the reception of his music in Japan.
