Finally Webern!

NovAntiqua is pleased to announce a significant addition to its catalog that honors the influential composer Anton Webern. Known for his innovative contributions to 20th-century music, Webern was a central figure in the Second Viennese School, alongside notable contemporaries Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg.

The publication of "A Kreutzer" highlights Webern's "Four Pieces, Op.7", composed in 1910, which exemplifies his unique style and compositional techniques.

These four pieces are a prime example of Webern's ability to convey profound emotion within a limited framework. Each work showcases his skillful orchestration and innovative use of timbre, making them essential listening for those interested in the evolution of classical music in the 20th century.

The years surrounding the composition of "Four Pieces, Op. 7" were particularly fruitful for Webern. During this period, he also composed several other significant works, including "Six Bagatelles for String Quartet, Op. 9" (1913) and "Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 10" (1913). These compositions reflect his exploration of atonality and his innovative use of orchestral color, further establishing his reputation as a pioneering voice in modern music.

So, are you ready?
Anton Webern is there.
