Information

Inhalt

On July 2, 1930, Schönberg and his wife moved into an apartment on the third floor of the Meran Corso-Hotel, Nürnberger Platz 3 (Berlin W). They sought to adapt the apartment, as Schönberg wrote the manager of Deutsche Bank on July 4, 1930, in order to ask for credit: “A very talented young architect is about to transform my apartment (I just moved in the day before yesterday) into a showpiece of modern living.” Schönberg had the wall of the dining room broken through in order to install a much marveled “marble tea sideboard with running water.” The wood had been covered with black marble, and Schönberg really enjoyed making himself coffee there in the evening – electrically!

The year before, the composer had completed his music theater work “From Today till Tomorrow.” His critique of the genre “Zeitoper” principally took the form of applying his twelve-tone method while incorporating the most important musical attribute of the genre, imitation of American dance music and jazz. The composer wrote to the conductor Wilhelm Steinberg in the run-up to the premiere: “One ought to feel, or sense, that behind these simple events something else is hidden; that these everyday characters and happenings are being used to show how, above and beyond this simple story of a marriage, the so-called modern, the merely modish exists only ‘from today till tomorrow’ […].” (Letter dated October 4, 1929).
