Information

Content

A record set labeled “Ronny” in Schönberg’s Estate consists of recordings that partially originated in a private setting, presumably as a keepsake for Schönberg’s son Rudolf Ronald who was born in 1937. One record contains two movements of Mozart’s third Prussian Quartet and from Schubert’s quartet “Death and the Maiden,” performed by Ronny’s uncle Rudolf Kolisch and his Wiener Streichquartett. Several other sides are filled with a recording of an unknown pianist playing the solo part of Frédéric Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Voice recordings of the family were made soon after their move to Los Angeles. On January 20, 1935 Schönberg recorded two greetings with his wife Gertrud and daughter Nuria. One record for Alban Berg – unfortunately missing – that was sent to Schönberg’s former student in Vienna for his 50th birthday on February 9, and a second with the label “RCA Victor Home Recording Record” for Gertrud’s mother Henriette Kolisch, who lived in Vienna and celebrated her birthday on February 22. The message recorded for Henriette Kolisch on January 20, 1935 has been made available by the Arnold Schönberg Center on YouTube in an illustrated version with optimized sound. Besides expressing the request that Henriette Kolisch should leave Vienna soon and move to California, the Schönbergs talk to their three-year-old daughter Nuria about her dolls, the guest room for her grandmother, and how to prepare spinach.

Collection history

Sammlung Schönberg

Im Rahmen einer Kooperation mit dem Arnold Schönberg Center sichert die Österreichische Mediathek seit April 2019 die Schallplattensammlung des Komponisten digital. Der Nachlass Arnold Schönbergs steht seit 1998 im Arnold Schönberg Center in Wien zur Verfügung.

Die Sammlung umfasst über 400 Schallplatten mit eigenen Kompositionen, fremden Werken sowie vereinzelten Sprachaufnahmen. Professionelle Produktionen stehen neben dokumentarischen Mitschnitten. Schönberg war technischen Neuerungen aufgeschlossen und nutzte Medien zur Tonaufzeichnung auf vielfältige Weise. Die frühesten Audio-Dokumente gehen auf Arnold Schönbergs Zeit in Berlin und sein zunehmendes Engagement für den Rundfunk zurück, dessen Potenzial zur Verbreitung aktueller Musik er bereits früh erkannte. Frühe Tonträger der Sammlung entstanden oft als Versuchsaufnahmen im Kontext von Radioübertragungen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden seine Schallplatten wichtiges Kommunikationsmittel im Kontakt mit Europa.

2011 wurde der Schönberg-Nachlass von der UNESCO in das Weltdokumentenerbe-Register (Memory of the World) aufgenommen.

In cooperation with the Arnold Schönberg Center, the Österreichische Mediathek digitally preserved the composer's record collection in April 2019. Arnold Schönberg’s Estate was made available at the Arnold Schönberg in 1998, after the collection had been moved from Los Angeles.

The composer owned over 400 phonograph discs with his own compositions, works by other composers, and also the occasional voice recording. Professional productions are found alongside documentative recordings. Schönberg was open to technical innovations and used sound recording media in various ways. The earliest audio documents stem from the composer’s time spent in Berlin and his increasing commitment to the radio, whose potential for broadcasting contemporary music to a larger audience was recognized by Schönberg at a very early stage. Early sound storage media from Schönberg’s collection often contain test recordings for radio broadcasts and only excerpts of the compositions played. And after the war, phonograph discs were an important means of communication with Europe.

In 2011 Schönberg’s Estate was inscribed onto the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
