Dedicated “To the memory of an angel”, the Concerto for Violin that Alban Berg subtitled so beautifully in honour of Manon, the daughter of Alma Schindler and Walter Gropius, not only follows the revolutionary approaches championed by Schönberg and Webern, but exemplifies how this new grammar can still awaken emotions in the listener. The use of a recurring motif, with a tonal series taken from the chorale Es ist Genug by Johann Sebastian Bach, makes for a truly memorable listening experience. The work was performed for the first time at the Palau de la Música Catalana on 19 April 1936. 110 years earlier, Franz Schubert created one of the most imposing symphonies in the history of music, which, unfortunately, he was unable to premiere officially. A monumental work in four movements that mobilises energy in contrasting registers, with a deployment of orchestral resources reflecting a level of creativity that is rarely achieved.

English

Dedicado “A la memoria de un ángel”, el Concierto para violín que Alban Berg subtituló tan bellamente –recordando a Manon, la hija de Alma Schindler y Walter Gropius– no solo sigue la revolución desarrollada con Schönberg y Webern, sino que representa un ejemplo de cómo desde esta nueva gramática todavía se pueden despertar emociones en el oyente.

La declamación de un motivo recurrente, con una serie tonal extraída del coral Es is Genug de Johann Sebastian Bach, vuelve realmente memorable la experiencia auditiva, que tuvo lugar por primera vez en el Palau de la Música Catalana el 19 de abril de 1936.

Ciento diez años antes, Franz Schubert había creado una de las sinfonías más imponentes de la historia de la música, que lamentablemente no pudo estrenar de forma oficial. Es un monumento en cuatro movimientos que moviliza energías en registros contrastados, con un despliegue de recursos orquestales que enarbolan una creatividad rara vez alcanzada.

Dedicat “A la memòria d’un àngel”, el Concert per a violí que Alban Berg va subtitular tan bellament –recordant Manon, la filla d’Alma Schindler i Walter Gropius– no només segueix la revolució desenvolupada amb Schönberg i Webern, sinó que representa un exemple de com des d’aquesta nova gramàtica encara es poden despertar emocions en l’oient.

La declamació d’un motiu recurrent, amb una sèrie tonal extreta del coral Es is Genug de Johann Sebastian Bach, torna realment memorable l’experiència auditiva, realitzada per primera vegada al Palau de la Música Catalana el 19 d’abril de 1936.

Cent deu anys abans, Franz Schubert havia creat una de les simfonies més imponents de la història de la música, que lamentablement no va poder estrenar de manera oficial. Un monument en quatre moviments que mobilitza energies en registres contrastats, amb un desplegament de recursos orquestrals que enarboren una creativitat poques vegades assolida.
