Description: Schoenberg's Correspondence With American Composers by Sabine Feisst Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Schoenbergs Correspondence with American Composers is the first edition of all known and available letters between Arnold Schoenberg and over seventy American composers written between 1915 and 1951, in English and English translation and with commentary. In six chronologically organized chapters, the correspondence first casts new light on Schoenbergs contacts with American composers before 1933, including correspondence with students and champions ofhis music (Israel Amter, James Francis Cooke, Henry Cowell, Edgar Varese, and Adolph Weiss among others). The letters after 1933 show how Schoenberg gradually built a network of composer colleagues and friends,among them Mark Brunswick, Oscar Levant, Roger Sessions, Nicolas Slonimsky, Gerald Strang, with whom he discussed compositional ideas, specific musical works and writings, performances and the publication of his compositions. These letters also provide insight into his ideas about teaching in private settings, at the Malkin Conservatory and the University of California. The correspondence of his last years illuminates how the reception of Schoenbergs music in the UnitedStates was flourishing and how he attracted a growing number of disciples exploring twelve-tone composition. The book also qualifies the concept of and Schoenbergs association with the Second VienneseSchool. Schoenbergs Correspondence with American Composers not only illuminates a varied and vivid epistolary style, but clearly demonstrates Schoenbergs far-reaching connections in the American music world.
