The Wanderer
Donald Macleod focuses on Schoenberg's moves between Germany and Austria, and further afield. With Six Little Piano Pieces, Op 19, Pierrot Lunaire and Piano Pieces, Op 33 a and b.
Donald Macleod explores Schoenberg's life from five different viewpoints. Part of Radio 3's season: Breaking Free - the minds that changed music. Today the composer's moves between Germany and Austria - and further afield.
Schoenberg never really knew where to call home. In Europe he had moved frequently between Vienna and Berlin as well as further afield, and the developing political situation in pre-war Germany and Austria made permanency impossible for him. From the thirties he lived in the states - but this was an exile rather than a homecoming. Donald explores the composer's relationship with the places he lived.
