- Title
Essay: Schoenberg's Modulatory Calculations: Wn Fonds 21 Berg 6/III/66 and Tonality.
- Authors
Dineen, Murray
- Abstract
The manuscript folio 66 in Fonds 21 6/III of the Alban Berg repository in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, taken from Bergs lessons with Schoenberg, contains annotations that prefigure Schoenberg's treatment of modulation in the Harmonielehre. They can be interpreted in light of a fluid tonality, fluctuating or suspended. Such a tonality might be built of interchangeable modulating shapes or contours, these comprised of formulae, like those represented by integers in Berg's manuscript lessons. The manipulation of such component modulatory contours prefigures a technique of serial composition.
