Five Orchestral Pieces And Pelleas Und Melisande In Full Score

Schoenberg's theory of "composition with twelve tones" dominated international composition through most of the 20th century — and this edition collects the first steps of the composer's revolution. Pelleas und Melisande (1902) reveals Schoenberg's expanding chromatic language while Five Orchestral Pieces renounces motivic connections as well as tonality.

Milhaud was the most versatile, resourceful, and accomplished French composer of his time. These 5 chamber symphonies — dissonant, lightweight, anti-symphonic in their brevity, yet well crafted and charmingly lyrical — include Le printemps (Spring), written in 1917; Pastorale, 1918; Serenade, 1921; Dixtuor a cordes, 1921; and Dixtuor d'instruments a vent, 1922.

Possessing a soloistic texture and variations in instrumental color defined by Grove's as "chamber music for full orchestra," this 1909 work demonstrates the composer's daring explorations in music that renounces motivic connections and tonality. Includes bar-numbered movements and ample margins at the bottom of each page for notes and analysis.

This piece is unusual in concentrating all the elements of a symphony into a single movement; in being written for 15 solo instruments; in using chords built up of fourths; and in creating dissonances without immediate resolution. To its first audiences, the symphony seemed shocking. But today it is one of Schoenberg's most pleasing and accessible works. Scored for a chamber ensemble of flute, oboe, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two horns, two violins, viola, cello, and bass. Instrumentation. Glossary.
