Musikalische Kurze zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts (Beihefte zum Archiv f r Musikwissenschaft (AFMW-B))

Around 1910 an thus far unknown phenomenon in musical history appeared - the composition of extremely short pieces written for large orchestration, developed largely independently by such composers as Charles Ives, Erik Satie, Arnold Schonberg, Igor Strawinsky and Anton Webern. This volume approaches these compositions from theoretical, cultural historical, compository and aesthetic perspectives. German text.
