Activities of the Arnold Schönberg Research Center at the Institut für Musikalische Stilforschung of the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Vienna

As a follow up to the (completed) work of our first FWF Project (Preparation of the Critical Complete Edition of the Writings of Arnold Schönberg) and as part of the entire project, the ongoing research since May 2006 (also financed by the FWF) on the index of Schönberg’s works, there have been meetings with Universal Edition between the Schoenberg family and the publisher’s representatives. The aim of these meetings was to achieve fundamental agreement in matters of form, so that technical details such as format, paper, layout and font could be worked out in advance. Currently we are trying to find the best possible solution for making the text available as well as trying to take into consideration all scholarly demands.

The Symposium “The Reception of the Viennese School in Eastern and Southeastern Europe,” sponsored by the Arnold Schönberg Research Center, was held at the Arnold Schönberg Center from 21 – 23 June 2007. Scholars from various countries gathered together in Vienna and came up with interesting and at times amazing results. The Symposium was continued from 6 – 7 July 2007, at the Institute for Musicology of the University of Leipzig, where the focus was on the “Reception of the Vienna School in Northeastern Europe,” and equally new and interesting aspects were uncovered. The papers from both Symposia will be published in what promises to be a comprehensive volume in the series put out by the Research Center.

Our traditional Fall Symposium will take place on 4 – 6 October 2007 and will explore the theme, “The Young Schönberg in Vienna.” (For a detailed program please see our Calendar of Events). In view of the clearly detailed outlines and papers grouped together with great precision, we are expecting an abundance of new discoveries concerning Arnold Schönberg’s youth as well as the special, cultural ambiance which influenced him.

During the Winter Semester 2007/2008, Elmar Budde, with the support of Therese Muxeneder, will return as our “Schönberg Professor.” Both seminars (the dates of which can be found in our Calendar of Events) will be dedicated to the themes “Music as Language, Music as Material” and “Introduction to the Analysis of Dodecaphonic Music.” As in previous times, participants will be comprised of students from the Music University and, with free admission, those of the general public who are interested.
