Music and its Relation to Futurism, Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, 1905 to 1950

This division is not intended to represent an attempt at periodization of Webern's music, for the changes of style in Op. 17 are not that significant. But the fact that Webern employed the twelve-tone technique in all the works he wrote after Op. 16 makes this a natural point of division … more
