“Verklärte Nacht ” – Schoenberg’s Early Masterpiece in Concert in Los Angeles

April 20, 2013 by Cornelia

Gustav Klimt - The Kiss 

Arnold Schoenberg, 20th-Century Austrian composer and known for inventing the Twelve-tone technique (Zwölftontechnik) wrote some wonderful pieces in his early years that follow the tonal structure of late romantic works, reminiscent of Richard Strauss’ and Richard Wagner’s music . One of these early pieces and in fact one of Schoenberg’s earliest important work is “Verklärte Nacht” (Transfigured Night), Op.4 . It is a string sextet in one movement and was inspired by Richard Dehmel‘s poem of the same name. Arnold Schoenberg is very much connected to Los Angeles, the city he eventually moved to after his emigration from Nazi Germany. In L.A. he held teaching positions at USC as well as UCLA.
