His unhurried, almost aristocratic attitude to life and his extreme self-criticism in professional matters resulted in an extraordinarily small musical output, but it includes masterpieces such as the operas Wozzeck and Lulu, and his last work, the Violin Concerto. All of Berg's substantial works are discussed in this companion, which brings together a team of experts who write from a variety of historical and critical perspectives, outlining the place of the music in the cultural history of its time and recontextualizing it against the broader 20th-century interplay of fashions, aesthetics and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of Berg's substantial works are discussed in this Companion, including early songs and piano music that have only recently seen the light of day. The volume brings together a team of experts who write from a variety of historical and critical perspectives and while the book naturally gives centre stage to the music itself, it also outlines its immediate cultural context and places it in the broader twentieth-century interplay of fashions, aesthetics and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 324\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.6 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52444661678387,"sku":"9780521564892","price":63.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TGZ6cXRrV2VsQlpWQ3JlSEQ5ZXhmdz09.webp?v=1758941882","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-cambridge-companion-to-berg-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
