Information

Inhalt

In 1933 Schönberg spent his last summer in Europe in Arcachon, a bathing resort southwest of Bordeaux. He worked on his Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra in B flat major, based on the Concerto grosso op. 6 No. 7 by George Frideric Handel. On September 16, 1933 he wrote to Anton Webern that he had finished his composition: “It has turned out very well and has certainly become a highly original piece.” Unlike in his Bach and Brahms arrangements, Schönberg made far-reaching changes to the harmonic organization and melodic structure in the Handel concerto: “Compositionally, I certainly have gone further than Brahms and Mozart did in their Handel arrangements. I have not limited myself, as they did, to weeding out sequences and uninteresting figure-work and to enriching the texture; instead, especially in the third and fourth movements, whose inadequacy in regard to thematic invention and development could satisfy no true contemporary of ours, I have acted quite freely and independently, and with utilizing what was workable, undertaken an entirely new structure.” (Arnold Schönberg, 1935) (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
