Of the three Viennese figures who dominated contemporary music in the early years of this century - Schoenberg, Berg and Webem - Berg's music is generally held to be the most typical - an ideal synthesis of late Romanticism and atonality. But does this music require a special way of listening or merely a different way? And if so, how should the listener approach this traditionally 'difficult' music?
Michael Hall proposes an answer to such questions, and offers a key to this nostalgic modernist.
