The hand washing thing is curious, I know there are people who put on a song to their morning routine, maybe Webern just wanted to do the same and write something to listen to while he brushed his teeth?

Thank you for honoring Webern this way, with this angle. It may seem obvious to highlight his brevity, but he truly mastered the gem-like potential of what gets characterized as "atonal," or with more structure--serially projected and dodecaphonic composition.

Yes, Webern was a genius and his music is amazing. The only problem is that almost no one has ever heard this piece. So he wrote this for himself. Sam does an excellent job of explaining why it is so modern and beautifully crafted, but he did not address why Webern wrote music that, by design, is almost totally ignored by music history.

I’ve played Drei Stucke over thirty years with no less than five pianists. Anton speaks to me because of his brevity surrounded in silence. I call the 2nd Viennese School the three A’s: Arnold, Alban, and Anton. I possess a Schoenberg and Berg autograph, but have yet to acquire a Webern. However, in lieu of that acquisition, I purchased a 1968 copy of Webern’s sketchbook (1926-1945) and it is quite fascinating to dive into! Ervartung, A Survivor From Warsaw and the Lulu suite move me.

Many years ago, on a snowy winter night, I was listening to an FM station playing classical music -- this was back when playing classical music on FM radio was much more common than now. At one point they played as something by Webern, who I had never heard. I was amazed, it was one of my most memorable music experiences. It was Webern's Six Bagatelles for string quartet. Another short piece, lasting about 5 minutes. Great music.

New subscriber! Glad to have stumbled upon you. I'm a "closet" composer - sort of a modern-day Ives - working a "day job" & pursuing music on the side. I'm of course familiar with Webern & have heard many of his works, but never really did the analysis you offer here. I studied tone rows in college & wrote some interesting little pieces (you might call them fragments) using them, and later developed a technique of blending in some free atonality. I did not realize that Webern, too, composed miniatures, so now I have a new notion to shape these things up & publish them!

Kind of off the wall here but your discussion of Webern’s unique rhythms reminded me of the use of “ sprung rhythm” in poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. It was designed to imitate natural speech rhythms with a stressed first syllable followed by a variable number of unstressed syllables. Hopkins emphasized which syllables were to be stressed or unstressed by adding diacritical marks. This occurs within the foot of the poem the basic repeating rhythm of the poem. A lot of poets and critics thought Hopkins poetry was rhythmic anarchy just free verse. But while the feet can contain any number of syllables, he always kept the same number of feet per line. So there was definitely a structure, unity and even a formal discipline. Sorry to go on, but it just seemed like an interesting and hopefully useful analogy to understanding Webern’s work. Great episode as usual.

3rd movement could be an homage to Wagner? The cello's 1st phrase is the opening of the overture to Tristan (with major 6th instead of minor), and the cello's 3rd phrase is the opening notes of "Mild und Leise". That popped out so quickly that I had to wind back to rehear it! Just a thought.

When I discovered the Second Viennese School in my teenage I found Berg too soppy and romantic, Webern too analytic and stern so I gravitated to Schönberg. I am still not a fan of Berg's music per se but Webern's music as I have found out more about it has grown on me. I still however like Schönberg's music and especially his late String Trio which I saw / heard a lecture on at my university. For background, I was a Chemistry undergraduate and a skinhead who listened to a lot of punk rock (it was the early 1980s) as well as 20th century classical music. As a member of the university I could attend any lecture and noticed that the School of Music were doing a course on the Second Viennese School I went to the lecture / performance of the String Trio There were four people on the stage lecturer and a professional string trio and SEVEN people in the audience (including me in boots and braces with a shaved head LOL) The String Trio was performed the lecturer talked about it and bits were performed to illustrate then the trio was played in FULL again. I still think this is how lectures / concerts should be run if I had my way LOL I learnt so much that even forty years later I remember this concert / lecture. Webern could do with that kind of style of lecture / concert.

If you are as interested in Webern's works as I am, then you may enjoy György Kurtág, a brilliant Hungarian composer who was greatly influenced by Webern yet infused with his own idiom. As with Webern, many of Kurtag's pieces are embellished with sporadic artful silences, both in his miniature and longer pieces.

I find the music of Webern quite soothing ... It just makes sense to me, I somehow understand it, and I know nothing about music structure and form. I find it amazing he lived through the entire second world war (in Germany) only to die in a tragic shooting accident. His music was not accepted, nor popular, but I believe he has inspired more composers than Schoenberg.

Looked forward to the future...? I always found the 12 tone serial phase, primal and at times, intriguing in its unique effect. Back in 1976 when having it rammed down our student throats, it seemed obvious that it's life would be as short and concise and (weirdly) predictable as the product of multiple tone rows soon becomes. It's refreshing to hear a committed advocate for Webern today.

This might be some ways off the beaten track here, but this video really helped me better understand intuitions I've had regarding a sub-genre of extreme music called grindcore. Namely that grindcore songs, while usually very violent and short, are in fact miniatures. And when perfected (say, a band like Discordance Axis and an album like The Inalienable Dreamless) they are miniature masterpieces. I don't know if this is the case with "sets" of classical miniatures, but another attributes is that they "pile onto" one another. So, at the same time both very short and in relation to the other short miniatures in the set. Thank you very much for a wonderful video.

It seems like an example of the modernist "less is more" philosophy, a reaction to the over-elaboration of the 19th century, hints of the essential structure without the noisy spinning out of everything it entails. Like a stark white modernist house, it may be too little to satisfy for long, but there seems to me to be a clarity and sobriety in this that didn't exist before, akin to a calm, contemplative state of mind missing in the usually highly emotional late romantic works. (Sorry if this comes across as slightly pretentious!)

Schoenberg complained that the score of Gurre-Lieder weighed ten pounds, and on the heels of that, wrote the Six Little Pieces For Piano, which equals anything Webern wrote in terms of concision. As much as I admire Webern, Schoenberg seems to me to be the more dynamic composer; when his music was reactionary, it was often himself he was reacting to.

You point out the lack of strong beats at the beginning of each bar of Op. 11/1. Webern's Drei Kleine Stücke, op. 11, was written in 1914. In 1913, Scheonberg's Sechs kleine Klavierstücke was published. No. 6 of this series was probably a homage to Mahler, and has been depicted as a Mahlerian funeral march without the strong first beat. Its first chord comprises the notes of the harp in bar 3-4 of Mahler's 9th, F#-A-B-A.

Can anyone tell me why the chord at 11:05 is considered a dominant chord?

I find these miniatures strangely appealing. There are certain sonorities in the piano part that sound hauntingly beautiful. I kind of have to be in a particular frame of mind to allow myself to simply experience this as music meant to be heard. Today may have been a watershed moment.

Webern çok kısa ve çok samimi duygularla yazdığı müziklerle müzik tarihinin en özel bestecilerindendir. Sanatta büyük bir çığır açmıştır. Op.9 Bagatelleri bence başyapıtıdır. Klasik müziğe ilk yönelişlerimde Bach bir kutupta, birkaç eserini bildiğim Webern diğer kutuptaydı ama bana göre aynı değerdeydiler. Ancak çok tehlikeli bir müzik olduğunu da düşünüyorum. Delilik gibi bir şey bu müzik, özellikle Op.9. Önemli eserleri, müzikteki bütün katmanları bilinçli bir şekilde işleyerek eserin süresine varan hassasiyet içermektedir. Henüz erken olduğunu düşünüp çok kısa ve ses şokları şeklinde yazmıştır. Sıradan bir müzisyen asla çalamaz, ama en tecrübesiz izleyici bile onun bir sanat eseri olduğunu anlar. Salonun en sessiz derecede olması gerekmektedir. 12 nota ile yazılabilecek en yüksek müziktir. Klasik Türk müziği 53 tonlu bir müziktir ama hep o bilinen diatonik aralıklara yönelir. 53 tonda Webern tarzında müzik yazmak ne müthiş birşey olur. (Turkish) . . . . . . . . Webern is one of the most special composers in the history of music with the music he wrote with very short and sincere feelings. He made a big breakthrough in art. Op.9 Bagatelles is his masterpiece in my opinion. When I first turned to classical music, Bach was at one pole and Webern, whose works I knew a few, was at the other pole, but they were of equal value to me. But I also think that it is very dangerous music. Something like madness this music, especially Op.9. His important works contain sensitivity up to the duration of the piece by consciously processing all layers in music. He thought it was too early and wrote it very briefly and in the form of sound shocks. An ordinary musician can never play, but even the most inexperienced viewer will understand that it is a work of art. The hall should be at the quietest level. It is the highest music that can be written with 12 notes. Classical Turkish music is a 53 tone music, but it always tends to those known diatonic intervals. What a wonderful thing it would be to write music in the Webern style in 53 tones.

I really like how, when Webern studiously avoids downbeats, he manages to studiously avoid music too. And as for 'Drei Kleine Stucke' No.1.....I won't be able to stop whistling that for days now!

Many prefer to listen to it with their EARS closed. I think it's worth a listen, though; it helps is to internalise arcane points otherwise easy to forget--noise's place in music, for instance; and that one definition of music is "silence interrupted by sound "

Sounds like a toddler got ahold of a marker and some empty music notation and everyone's gonna say it's so artistic and magical. Lol. Webern's literally rolling in his grave in laughter!

Odd….he omitted Debussy as a composer who stretched the tonal language. And, I believe that all his works can fit on one CD.

Webern published around three hours of music in his lifetime, and around six hours exist in total. So no, it doesn't fit on one CD.
