Anton Webern Entflieht auf leichten Kähnen op. 2 (Vienna 1908)
(1883-1945)
Anton Webern was an important source of inspiration for the new music of the 20th century. His only a cappella composition "Escape on Light Boates" op. 2 was written in Vienna in 1908. It can be interpreted metaphorically as a farewell to tonality and is in a strictly canonical sentence. A clear reference to the role model Heinrich Isaac, about whom Webern wrote his dissertation and published the entire Choralis Chonstantinus collection.
