Musica e pittura
L'amicizia tra le due personalità artistiche che agli albori del XX secolo danno avvio alla pittura astratta e alla musica atonale è stata più volte oggetto di studio. Il carteggio offre una visione più ampia sul loro processo creativo e sulla loro personalità. Quando dal 1911 cominciò la loro corrispondenza, entrambi stavano affrontando la svolta più difficile e feconda della loro evoluzione artistica: da quel momento si comunicarono tutto quanto avesse per loro un interesse artistico.

About the author
Arnold Schoenberg
450 books57 followersNoted Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg abandoned tradition and developed the twelve-tone system for music.
Associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, he led the second Viennese school. He used the spelling Schönberg until his move to the United States in 1934, whereupon he altered it to Schoenberg "in deference to American practice."
His approach in terms of harmony developed among the major landmarks of 20th-century thought; at least three generations in the Europeans and Americans consciously extended his thinking or in some cases passionately reacted in opposition. During the rise of the Nazi party, people labeled jazz as degenerate art.
People widely knew Schoenberg early in his career for his success in simultaneously extending the opposed German romantic styles of Johannes Brahms and Richard Wagner. Later, his name came to personify pioneering innovations, the most polemical feature of 20th-century art. In the 1920s, the technique, a widely influential method of Schoenberg, manipulated an ordered series of all in the chromatic scale. He also coined the term variation, and this first modern embraced ways of motifs without resorting to the dominance of a centralized melodic idea.
Schoenberg, an important theorist, also painted and influentially taught his students, who included Alban Berg, Anton Friedrich Wilheim von Webern, Hanns Eisler, Egon Wellesz, and later John Milton Cage, Lou Harrison, Earl Kim, and many other prominent. Avant-garde thought throughout the 20th century echoes many of practices, including the formalization of method and his habit of openly inviting audiences to think analytically. His crucial, often polemical views of history and aesthetics influenced many significant critics, including Theodor Adorno, Charles Rosen, and Carl Dahlhaus,of the 20th century. His thought also considerably influenced the pianists Rudolf Serkin, Artur Schnabel, Eduard Steuermann, and later Glenn Gould.
The Arnold Schönberg center in Vienna collects his archival legacy.

Interessante per chi vuole sapere quale casa vacanze hanno prenotato, ma non parla per niente del rapporto tra colore e suono (che era quello che mi interessava). Qualche spunto carino nell'ultima parte c'è, ma mi aspettavo un libro diverso.

Due grandi personalità (una senza dubbio un artista, l’altra un artigiano dei suoni, forse) si confrontano tra le pagine di questi libro.
O meglio, è quello che si spera iniziando la lettura.
La parte dedicata alla corrispondenza è tristemente superficiale. Mostra due persone che scrivono più che altro banalità e superficialità.

Due sezioni che si spera essere più sagge e saggistiche sono dedicate al teatro visto come un insieme di suoni e colori. Interessante ma un po’ poco.
Un libro che occupa degnamente un posto vuoto nella libreria. Ma non va oltre.
Abbastanza deludente.
