Schoenberg's First Chamber Symphony

Saturday 7 May 2005 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)

Charles Hazlewood delves into the detail of one of the landmarks of European music in the early years of the 20th Century, when Schoenberg was striving to break free from the conventions of traditional tonality. Written for 15 solo instruments the symphony is rich in thematic detail, which took the composer much time and effort to get right. Charles Hazlewood explores Schoenberg's creative journey in a workshop session with his own chamber orchestra Excellent Device.
