dc.description.abstract |
This is a study of certain religious, socio-ethical and literary themes, as reflected in the musical achievements of three composers working across and beyond what Robert Musil has termed ‘the magical date of the turn of the century’. The music of Debussy, Stravinsky and Schoenberg may be expected to have been profoundly affected by their intimate relationship with and understanding of the period in which they worked. It is well known that Debussy enjoyed the company and conversation of writers, painters, theatre folk and other miscellaneous café habitués, at least as much as, if not more than, his fellow musicians and composers. Alexander Benois has described the youthful Stravinsky’s desire to gain experience and knowledge beyond the immediate requirements of his chosen profession. A rapid glance at the catalogue of Schoenberg’s creative output is sufficient indication of the Austrian master’s breadth of mind. But the analysis of the relationship between their epoch and these three composers is valuable primarily as a basis for the study of their own contributions to that ‘kindling fever’ described in Musil’s novel. |
