Suite for String Ochestra in G major, written in 1934
00:04 - I. Ouverture
06:07 - II. Adagio

22:20 - V. Gigue
In the summer of 1934, during a visit to Chautauqua, New York, Schoenberg met Martin Bernstein, who directed a student orchestra at New York University. As a result, he became interested in composing some music for didactic purposes, that is, to be used by students. This Suite was the first of these, and although its technical difficulty makes it beyond the ability of many college orchestras, Schoenberg himself used it in his classes at UCLA as a model of compositional technique. The structure of the Suite is traditional, with a large Overture followed by a slow movement and three dance movements -- Menuett, Gavotte, and Gigue. As a model for students, each of these movements was constructed using some kind of traditional compositional technique regarding form, rhythm, and melodic patterns. Although the Suite is tonal, Schoenberg took some liberty with harmony and counterpoint, with a resultant style that sounds similar to that of Max Reger's, whom Schoenberg was know to have admired.

first reaction: KEY SIGNATURE!!!!
0:01 - that smirk says it all!
Anyone who has no love for the compositions of Schoenberg , should sit down and listen to this piece , with open mind and ears . They , like me , will be pleasantly surprised .
According to a book I read, this was his first time writing a piece with key signature in 27 years!
is it "The Bach, Beethoven and the Boys"?
@@Bubblezz451 Yes it is!
Really beautiful!
For viewers' information, mm. 206 and 207 (12:05) the lower part of cellos and the basses are supposed to be dotted-half-notes, just a printing error.
"There is still great music written in C major" “It would, however, be a mistake to think that a more artistic expression is only a matter of using a certain technique.”
but it is in G.
just kidding ha-ha-ha :( .
nice comment :)
Such a varied composer!
The punch line is how much in common, not how different, Schoenberg's serial music has with this and his other tonal pieces.
Wow, thanks!
❤❤❤
Sounds stravinsky-ish
It sounds like a less coherent version of Appolo
But stodgier .Of his tonal pieces “Christmas Music” is much more persuasive.
@@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist I'd say his Chamber Symphonies and tonal String Quartets too
I feel like in the intervening years, he sort of forgot how to write compelling tonal music (unfortunately also true of the second movement of the E-flat minor chamber symphony).
He didn't "forget" how to write tonal music. This is just adhering to the neo-classic/neo-baroque idiom of the time rather than the high Romantic idiom of his earlier works.
@@Eorzat Hmm then it's still not particularly successful. The serial pieces that contain tonal elements like the piano concerto and ode to Napoleon are much stronger, imo.
I do love the second chamber symphony, but I'll agree that the second movment does lose itself a bit. I do think this piece does a bit too, in a similar way to the 4th quartet, in that it has trouble keeping one idea going for long. Even so, I do enjoy them all
I hate to say it, but I can't entirely disagree with you. I do like this piece and the Chamber Symphony no. 2, but there are weaknesses here that don't exist in other music. The Chamber Symphony, too, has a masterpiece for a first movement, and a little bit of a mess for a second one (though I think the coda is great). Here we have some good stuff (I also like the Overture a lot), but it's far from Schoenberg's masterpiece imo.
껄껄껄 다몬군 안녕하신가
The worst composer to ever enter classical music.
Aburrida. Innecesaria.
