The correspondences between Schönberg and Fritz Grünbaum, one of the leading cabaret artists of the era, go beyond mere contemporaneity. Like Alexander Zemlinksy, Schönberg composed “Brettl-Lieder” [Cabaret Songs], and was by no means averse to high-quality operettas, for which Grünbaum wrote numerous libretti. Their artistic interests also converged: Schönberg was an aspiring painter, while Grünbaum was an important art collector.
The concert will be streamed live on facebook and YouTube and will be available for seven days afterwards.
