    People never do detailed analysis of motivic development. This topic is glossed over so often, saying "(X) composer develops this motif in many ways" without elaborating further. A concise look in to how motivic development functions is rare and this video fulfills that need. Great stuff

    Vielen Dank für deine Analyse! Ich habe mich gefragt, warum Schönberg zu beginn des 3. Stücks (T. 1-3) ein drittes System einfügt. Geht es hier darum, die drei verschiedenen Stimmen herauszuheben, oder ist das eine Sache der Lesbarkeit? Ich freue mich über eine kurze Antwort. Liebe Grüße!

    the reason for B flat in bar 11 is to avoid the tonal chord G7. with B flat we get minor and major triade at once.

    Any analysis is futile.Schonberg himself said that attempts to explain his works were useless. It's "the flow of his unconscious", nothing is planned. Any attempt at analysis is only there to flatter the analyst.

    I think you’re wrong here. Schönberg said that it’s not very interesting to just determine all the rows in his twelve tone pieces because it tells you nothing about the actual music (to which I agree). The work I’m talking about is not a dodecaphonic piece. You can analyse every piece by Schönberg and find interesting and valuable musical information. Op. 11 is particularly interesting to me. Schönberg himself was a dedicated and insightful musical analyst and taught all his students the inner workings of pieces by Beethoven, Brahms and so on. And although Schönberg let his “unconscious flow” , all his pieces are carefully constructed. He didn’t just write random notes down. You probably haven’t watched my video but for example the form and the motivic cohesion of the pieces Op. 11 is remarkable. It’s clearly thought through. And even if he let his unconscious flow, Schönberg was a composer who knew classical and romantic music extremely well and he incorporated the musical thinking of older composers he admired. He was so good at composition that he was able to let his imagination flow and create musically “logic” things, sometimes perhaps unconsciously. Although I think he did most of it consciously. But even if it was the case that most of his compositions happened unconsciously, why couldn’t I analyse them? It would still be interesting to see what structures, what trajectories, what forms such pieces would have, how they function and so on.

    Why futile? Of course one can even try to analyse how the clouds are changing in the sky or how the waves move. Music, and art in generally, is the result of human brain, not from nature. So such an analysis is very interesting and not futile, even if we are not speaking here about THE truth. It is just ONE analysis made with an extrem high knowledge about music history and technic.

    ​@@mattia.a_p Construction is not necessarily synonymous with consciousness, which is where you are wrong in my opinion. Construction can come from a sense of unity, the elements build themselves... See for example Debussy or Bartok to whom many things have been attributed, the golden ratio etc. But no, it often came from the inside, not from the intellect (although the intellect plays an important role) . But you are right: it is not forbidden to analyse what you want!

    @@beecolor I don’t confuse construction and consciousness. The things I analyse in my video are definitely conscious compositional decisions. Schönberg didn’t accidentally write canons with the main motif of a piece or variations of an important figure, he wasn’t unconscious that he was using an ostinato or that pp is a contrast to ff. I think the unconscious Schoenberg meant is more related to the expressive quality of the music. What the music expresses is a reflection of his inner life. And yes, that’s what I meant, sometimes composers do things that turn out to be surprisingly constructed although they hadn’t planned it. They have internalised musical language and architecture on a very deep level. But like I said, most things I talk about in my video are not such things in my opinion.
