Surmising the Compulsions of Creativity
Keywords:
harmonic language, Anton Webern, harmony languageAbstract
Undergraduate theory texts and coursework have traditionally been focuses on concepts that create form, harmony and harmonic language, unusual features and temporal organization in tonal, and more recently, atonal music. Understandably, and perhaps due the space restrictions, emphasis has been placed almost entirely on empirical topics of structural significance within those criteria. By way of an example taken from the third movement of Anton Webern's Op.5 String quartet, the author illustrates the need and value of straying from the empirical and chancing conjecture while analyzing compositions influenced by composers's enigmatic game-like constructs.
