Berg's Wozzeck

ISBN: 9780195342611 出版年：2011 页码：224 Hall, Patricia Oxford University Press

Although Berg decided immediately after seeing Büchner's play Woyzeck in May 1914 to set it to music, he did not complete his opera until 1922, with the Berlin premiere taking place in 1925. Using compositional sketches, diaries, notebooks and other archival material, Hall reveals the challenges Berg faced in completing his masterpiece.
