The work premiered in Vienna in 1904, with Schoenberg himself accompanying the singer. The six songs are: 1. "Erwartung" (Expectation) 2. "Schenk mir deinen goldenen Kamm" (Give me your golden comb) 3. "Erhebung" (Elevation) 4. "Waldsonne" (Forest sun) 5. "Sehnsucht" (Longing) 6. "Am Wegrand" (By the wayside) The songs are characterized by Schoenberg's use of chromaticism and atonality, which were revolutionary at the time. The vocal lines are often disjunct and angular, with wide leaps and unexpected intervals. The piano accompaniment is equally complex, with dissonant harmonies and intricate rhythms. Despite their challenging nature, the songs are deeply expressive and emotional. They explore themes of love, nature, and spirituality, with a sense of yearning and longing that is palpable throughout. The texts are drawn from a variety of sources, including poems by Richard Dehmel and Stefan George. Overall, 'Songs (6) for mezzo-soprano or baritone & piano, Op. 3' is a landmark work in Schoenberg's early career, showcasing his innovative approach to composition and his ability to create deeply affecting music.More....
