Arnold Schoenberg and That Ol' Atonal Music: A Conversation

# data[].attributes.body
In my teaching I never sought merely ‘to tell people what I know’. Better to tell them what they did not know. Yet that was not my chief aim either, although it was reason enough for me to devise something new for each pupil. I labored rather to show them the nature of the matter from the ground up. Hence, I never imposed those fixed rules with which a pupil’s brain is so carefully tied up in knots. Everything was formulated as in instructions that were no more binding upon the pupil than upon the teacher. If the pupil can do something better without the instructions, then let him do so. But the teacher must have the courage to admit his own mistakes. He does not have to pose as infallible, as one who knows all and never errs; he must rather be tireless, constantly searching, perhaps sometimes finding. Why pose as a demigod? Why not be, rather, fully human?”

The University could offer a series of Online Courses on topics such as:

·         A Guide to the Harmonielehre

·         Fundamentals of Music Composition

·         Composition with 12-Tones

These courses would be taught by highly qualified Schoenberg scholars, using extensive materials from the archives of the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna. The courses would be available on-line.

The technology is evolving so that that there is, or there will soon be, the possibility to create videos simulating a filmed occurrence of an event or a lecture employing only still images and audio recordings, .  I can imagine that one will be able to present Schoenberg’s teaching lectures, essays and articles using this technique.  And in the near future, with voice sampling,  one will be able to create DEEPTRUTH videos directly from texts and photographs.

Pat Pataranutaporn a MIT Media Lab student has produced a DEEPTRUTH video based on Schoenberg’s 1937 radio eulogy for George Gershwin on the Mutual Broadcasting System.

A “Pierrot Ensemble” could be formed that would perform Pierrot Lunaire together with the Strauss Emperor Waltz arrangement. They could perform this concert throughout Southern California and beyond. The Schoenberg Center in Vienna could produce informative panels that could be displayed at each venue.

Johanned Fleischmann suggests to create a Gurrelieder performance in a size like never before. At the Musikfest 1922 in Duisburg, 1000 musicians under conductor Paul Scheinpflug performed Schoenberg’s masterpiece. To my knowledge the biggest performance ever of this piece. Musicians and singers from all over Germany came to join this concert.

The climax of the Schönberg festival with over 1000 performers will be a creation of the most impressive performance of Gurre Lieder. A collaboration between YOLA and other youth orchestras and choirs from all of California/USA will show the uniting power of music, especially Schoenberg’s music.

The original pieces have been scanned and can be reproduced at any size. A detailed playable version with complete instructions in both English and German is available from the Center.   An outdoor life-sized playable set could be installed in the Schoenberg Music Building Quadrangle or in a suitable public park.

A realization of Schoenberg’s 1940 proposal to the UCLA faculty for a “Forum of the Arts and Esthetics” where he hoped to promote cross-fertilization among the Art and Sciences.  He invited UCLA colleagues from the humanities and sciences to exchange ideas and to discuss the influences of technology and sociology on the arts, envisioning far-reaching conferences on esthetics. (See Sabine Feisst Schoenberg’s New World) and the ASC archives.

A dramatic film based on the first performance of

A Survivor from Warsaw.

The story would focus on the lives of two young women, one preparing the chorus in Estancia and the other living in Warsaw at the same time.
