What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mainly speaks of Alban Berg as a member of the Second Viennese School. He cites him in this role several times, both in the "Musicosophie" sessions and in "Pagani Parle Musique", alongside the other composers of that group12. He also places him within Wagner's constellation3. He counts Wozzeck, inspired by Büchner, among the finest operas of the twentieth century and of modernity, a judgment he makes in 2018 and again in 202045. In a session devoted to Bartók, he presents Berg as a pupil of Schoenberg who delves into the most learned part of the classical corpus. He singles out the scherzo of the Lyric Suite, which he considers the most rhythmically developed passage of the work6. In 2024, he remarks that certain passages of Parsifal bring Berg and Lulu to mind, which draws Wagner and Berg together7. Elsewhere, he mentions him only in passing.

Portrait: BergWho is this?

Alban Maria Johannes Berg ( BAIRG; Austrian German:; 9 February 1885 – 24 December 1935) was an Austrian composer of the Second Viennese School. His compositional style combined Romantic lyricism with the twelve-tone technique. Although he left a relatively small oeuvre, he is remembered as one of the most important composers of the 20th century for his expressive style encompassing "entire worlds of emotion and structure".
