- Abstract
A Survivor from Warsaw, Schoenberg's short but intense cantata about brutality and identity in the 2nd World War. is set in this article at the center of a number of perspectives: against the background of rising anti-Semitism in the 1920'sand'30'sandin relationship to Schoenberg's own ambivalent sense of his Jewish identity as against his self-identification as a German composer. It compares the musical style of A Survivor from Warsaw to other works by Schoenberg; and using the metaphor of the broken mirror, includes Adorno's views about the relationship of the 'brokenness' of 20th century musical language and the fractures in society to reflect back on A Survivor from Warsaw.
