unusual facts about Webern



Alban Berg Quartet

The Quartet's inclination and conviction was towards the Viennese classics, through the Romantic tradition to the works of Berg, Schoenberg, Webern and Bartók, and embracing great contemporary composers.

Bruce Clarke

He accepted a commission to realise the first major Australian electronic work for the 1968 Adelaide Arts Festival, and conducted performances in Melbourne of works by 20th-century composers Stockhausen, Berio and Webern.

Flavio Testi

In general Testi’s style, rather than adhering to the radicalisms of the post-Webern avant garde, re-elaborates and reflects, not without eclecticism, certain crucial 20th-century achievements, from Stravinsky and Bartók to early Schoenberg.

LaSalle Quartet

The LaSalle Quartet was best known for its espousal of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, and of the European modernists who derived from that tradition, though they also performed standard classical and romantic literature.

Maurizio Pollini

Pollini is especially noted for his performances of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Schoenberg, Webern and for championing modern composers such as Pierre Boulez, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Giacomo Manzoni, Salvatore Sciarrino and Bruno Maderna.

Stefan Veselka

Veselka has recorded a number of CDs of piano works by Beethoven, Prokofiev, Debussy, Strauss, and Webern, and notably recorded the complete piano works of Dvorak for the Naxos label, which earned him the Classical Internet Award in 2004.
