Begin your exploration of twentieth century Avant-Garde music by watching a video recording of “Mondestrunken” from the song cycle Pierrot Lunaire written by Arnold Schoenberg in 1912. A translation of the lyrics can be found on page 1 of Chapter 8 in Making Sense of the Sound.
What do you think this song means? How do you imagine an audience would have responded to this song soon after it was written in 1912?
Does this song represent the musical progress Schoenberg refers to in the following quote:
“I knew I had to fulfil a task: I had to express what was necessary to be expressed and I knew I had the duty of developing my ideas for the sake of progress in music, whether I liked it or not; but I also had to realize that the great majority of the public did not like it.”
Do you enjoy this music? Why or why not?
