Schönberg invented the row to re-enable thematic composition and to connect with 19^th century German tradition. Placing all twelve tempered semitones in a certain order as a regulative element of anarchic atonicality was an idea that was criticized on a level that is equal to its potential for later generations. What significance does it have today? Is it only historical, or can the concept of rows still be relevant within changed conditions in music history and compositional technique? These questions are addressed by five contemporary composers who have written solo pieces for this concert. Their works are presented alongside Schönberg’s Wind Quintet, op. 26, a monumental work of dodecaphonic neoclassicism.

5.30 pm: Curator’s tour with Eike Feß
