Arnold Schoenberg - Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 (1899)

[@konkon3820]

Was für ein wunderbares Manuskript! Ich danke Ihnen sehr, daß Sie uns Schönbergs Handschrift gegeben haben.

[@thomaskauba9250]

Thank you very much!!! This beuatiful piece was the topic of my master thesis. It has es very special form, inspired by the poem of Dehmel, but in the same time independent of the poem. It is "absolute music". Schönberg himself has analysed it many years later and was astonished about the structural complexity of his own masterpiece.

_Transfigured Night_ Two people are walking through a bare, cold wood; the moon keeps pace with them and draws their gaze. The moon moves along above tall oak trees, there is no wisp of cloud to obscure the radiance to which the black, jagged tips reach up. A woman's voice speaks: "I am carrying a child, and not by you. I am walking here with you in a state of sin. I have offended grievously against myself. I despaired of happiness, and yet I still felt a grievous longing for life's fullness, for a mother's joys and duties; and so I sinned, and so I yielded, shuddering, my sex to the embrace of a stranger, and even thought myself blessed. Now life has taken its revenge, and I have met you, met you." She walks on, stumbling. She looks up; the moon keeps pace. Her dark gaze drowns in light. A man's voice speaks: "Do not let the child you have conceived be a burden on your soul. Look, how brightly the universe shines! Splendour falls on everything around, you are voyaging with me on a cold sea, but there is the glow of an inner warmth from you in me, from me in you. That warmth will transfigure the stranger's child, and you bear it me, begot by me. You have transfused me with splendour, you have made a child of me." He puts an arm about her strong hips. Their breath embraces in the air. Two people walk on through the high, bright night

Great piece!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser atonalen doch perfekt komponierten Streichsextetts im veränderlichen Tempo mit seidigen Tönen beider Violinen, milden Tönen beider Bratschen und tiefen Tönen beider Violoncelli. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den sechs Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
