English - English

Definition of alban berg in English English dictionary

(1885-1935) Austrian composer known for his use of atonic and 12-tone styles, student and friend of Arnold Schoenberg

This would prove to be the decisive event in his life, and Schoenberg would remain his teacher for eight years. Under his influence, Berg's early late-Romantic tonal works gave way to increasing atonality and finally (1925) to 12-tone composition. His Expressionist opera Wozzeck (1922) would become the most universally acclaimed post-Romantic opera. His second opera, Lulu, on which he worked for six years, remained unfinished at his death. Berg's other works include two string quartets, including the Lyric Suite (1926); Three Pieces for Orchestra (1915); and a violin concerto (1935)

born Feb. 9, 1885, Vienna, Austria-Hungary died Dec. 24, 1935, Vienna, Austria Austrian composer. He was largely self-taught musically until he met Arnold Schoenberg at age
