Berg’s Op. 2: Another Attempt at a Semantic Analysis Based on Harmonics
Abstract
The text is a study of Berg’s harmonic progressions in op. 2, nos. 3 and 4 and how they relate to the semantics of the lyrics. Also shown is Berg’s process of detachment from tonality, even though tonality remains an important and indisputable compositional factor.
