- Follow us for a weekly analysis of some of our favourite musical moments.
Today we are presenting an analysis of the last section from Arnold Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht Op. 4.
“Two people are walking through a bare, cold wood;
the moon keeps pace with them and draws their gaze.
The moon moves along above tall oak trees…”
In this excerpt, Schönberg sets to music the homonymous poem by Richard Dehmel describing a couple taking a moonlit stroll through the woods. The musical language explores the Brahms-Wagner dialectic with extensive chromaticism articulated through a cohesive motivic network.

This piece is gorgeous. Expecially in its original verions for string sextet.
People take his music too much as a joke. People ignore how much of a genius he was, honestly including myself. Happy birthday Schoenberg.
Nice pfp looks a lot like mine!
Genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one
Tonal = good 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😅😅😅🤣😂🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@Whatismusic123 Bad day?
@@oritdrimer4354 you can't say that. Every day for you must be bad if you think schönberg in any way is even remotely a genius.
Not what I expected!! I knew schonberg for atonal works, but had no idea he did this as well! Very beautiful!
I had not heard this before! How beautiful
Excellent analysis.
Thank you!
this was my schoenberg gateway drug
This is as romantic as it gets
Doesn't make it good lil bro
Nice bro, maybe Kapustin or Bill evans?
Thanks! I really like Kapustin, do you have any particular moment to recommend? MM.
@@-MomentsMusicaux- Maybe prelude 7 of his preludes and fugues, with that modal discharg. or whatever you want bro. Thanks
@@-MomentsMusicaux-2nd slow mvt of his 2nd Cello Concerto. I’d love to see the beautiful harmonies dissected.
Whoa, how did you know that I love this? I don’t like Schoenberg’s 12-tone composition though, I’ve fallen in love with Verklärte Nacht since my freshman year.
Again, thank you very much for great analysis 😊
It baffles me why Schoenberg would abandon this for the atrocity of serialism.
@Cerealbowl7038 I think that the main reason is because he wanted to be recognized as someone authentic and innovative instead of someone who sounds like Mahler or Strauss, has the craft and technique to compose in post-romantic language, but his way of thinking was that the The tonal music had reached a limit and there was nothing new to do with it.
Like Schoenberg, Picasso mastered the conventional style at an early age. They were geniuses who sought to try new things after mastering the old.
Maybe he wanted to try something new. Anyway, the real problem was Boulez which elevated serialism into an ideological "dogma", and singlehandedly, aprioristically decided it was the only possible musical language for the 20.th Century.
Likewise.
When's the last time you have heard the music of Atterberg, Adolf Wiklund, Medtner, Leo Ornstein, or Mel Bonis performed live? I promise all of them have written music just as pretty, romantic, and complicated like Mahler and early Schonberg.
There's way too much talented composer and the style of romantic music was simply getting stale. Schonberg tried to innovate, and he was only semi-successful. He did impact music theory a lot, but it never got popular with the audience. Still, one can't blame him for trying to write something new, not just Mahler Symphony No.712 or Brahms piano concerto No.193
God I wish he never turned atonal
And what? He'd just be making this garbage instead.
I 😍 random noise
I 🤮 classical music
This but unironically
