Langsamer Satz {Slow Movement} for string quartet, written in 1905.
One movement: Langsam, mit bewegtem Ausdruck
Webern composed this work for string quartet in June 1905, but it wasn't publicly performed until 27 May 1962, in Seattle (Washington, USA) by the University of Washington String Quartet. The Langsamer Satz (literally "Slow Movement") originated during a hiking trip in Lower Austria that Webern took with his cousin, Wilhelmine Mörtl, who later became his wife. It is love music, as Webern diarized ecstatically -- an outpouring by the 21-year-old composer, whose studies with Arnold Schoenberg had begun the previous autumn.
"To walk forever like this among the flowers, with my dearest one beside me, to feel oneself so entirely at one with the Universe, without care, free as the lark in the sky above -- Oh what splendor...when night fell (after the rain) the sky shed bitter tears but I wandered with her along a road," wrote Webern in language reminiscent of the poet Richard Dehmel, who had inspired Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht -- a work not without influence on the present composition. "A coat protected the two of us. Our love rose to infinite heights and filled the Universe. Two souls were enraptured." The Langsamer Satz is tonal music, albeit chromatic, firmly ensconsed in a tradition stretching from Liszt through Wagner to Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss, and Mahler. The last named had not as yet entranced Webern, but during the 1930s he led Vienna's Workingmen Symphony Orchestra in readings of Mahler's music allegedly as insightful as Bruno Walter's, and certainly more comprehensive.
Webern wrote tonal music for several more years after 1905 -- until, as Schoenberg's most intuitive pupil, he became "more Catholic than the Pope," to borrow an apposite aphorism (it nettled the Master when Webern anticipated his serial dicta, especially as regards rhythm). The Langsamer Satz is one of the longest of all Webern works (though this version by the Emerson String Quartet is rather fast), longer even than In Sommerwind that preceded it, or the Passacaglia, Op. 1, both orchestral, that followed. (With Webern's radical renunciation of tonality came a new minimalism.) It has a root key, C minor, and a traditional sonata-form structure.
After the leading Webern scholar, Hans Moldenhauer, settled in Spokane in 1939, Washington state became the world center for Webern's music. Seattle hosted the first of six International festivals, held between 1962 and 1978. - Hudba
The most underrated piece of music I've ever heard in my life.
Do you have any sense of hip hop/ hard rock / hard techno ... or do you under-rate those ?
That main theme is probably my favourite piece of music ever written for strings.
Welcome to the public domain, mister Webern.

One of the most beautiful movements in music... Beautiful, I love tonal Webern :)

Yes.
Atonal Webern>Tonal Webern.
He SHOULD have staid TONAL! Schoenberg corrupted him!
The adamantine melodic and harmonic precision, the delicacy, the poetry, not one note out of place, is here, in place - before it crystallized to remarkable effect in the later work; I always feel if I have encountered something one breath from perfection in listening to or reading this music.
Wieder ein herzzerreißendes Adieu an die Romantik. Schönberg, Berg, gar Webern konnten es wohl nicht lassen. Der Mensch ist doch sentimental, emotional, mit all den Sternen über sich.
when a serialism composer compose a 'tonal' music, it's more than beautiful. Webern is very sensible
I love the later webern but his tonal works are amazing !
[Predictable comment that refers to the fact that this is a tonal work of Webern's]
yes hahahahaha
Unlike Schoenberg, Webern admitted in his repertoire only one tonal (tonally very extended) composition: the Passacaglia op. 1. We discover earlier scores of Webern in which he is not still "the" webern that we know and admire, but which would deserve to be saved from forgiveness. Such is the case of this very tonal movement for string quartet.
And Im Sommerwind, that is so beautiful.
Too bad he moved on from tonality and wrote some horrible pieces of music...
@@mousikopaigmonas23 his atonal pieces are far from horrible. The six bagatelles for example are some of the most expressive and beautiful pieces for quartet ever written.
@@mousikopaigmonas23 are y0u crazy?
and his op 2 is tonal; g major
What a beautiful piece. Never heard it before
This shows that Webern was quite eloqeant when using the tonal language. In his official list od opus, he put a tonal piece, the great Passacaglia op. 1.
I would say the opuses between the Passacaglia and Funf Sätz occupy a tonal grey area, but aren't atonal per se.

Beautiful!
Great discovery!
Pezzo straordinario. Il finale che riecchieggia Mahler è quasi divino nei suoi respiri

How indesribably beautiful.
Wow!!! just... wow
It's a pretty work for sure, but I'm glad that Webern moved on to dodecaphony after this.
I’m currently exploring Webern music, and I didnt expect this. Im pleasantly surprised. 😅
In questo brano tutto torna. La melodia principale è molto espressiva e da lei nascono idee secondarie in un modo che già preannuncia la purezza dello stile del Webern che conosciamo. La derivazione dagli ultimi quartetti di Beethoven è innegabile così come non si può negare che l'ispirazione melodica sorge dai Laendler austriaci. Notevole la sobrietà armonica pur nella raffinatezza.
Masterpiece
Wonderful piec of music.
Beautiful music
does anyone have the score in pdf?
Superbe !
Only 4 years later opus six is a new world
As usual brahms brahms brahms
and there can never be ENOUGH Brahms, no matter what flavor!
@@hoff3204 indeed. It is rare that i actually listen to Brahms anymore and as magical as the Webernian transformation of Brahms is, i'm closing in on my final listens unless it happens to stream via autoplay.
Favoloso
+Francesco Ardizio Certo!
Wow, how really beautiful for this 12 tone composer!
Writing with dodecaphony don't mean writing without sensitivity and musicality. Berg and others composers have demonstrated it.

You’re right.
But a piece like this makes the case that no composer should shelve his genius for tonal music.
Of course, Webern died prematurely. Perhaps in later years, he would have on occasion returned to tonality.
Romantic Webern
Is this score actually in public domain? If so, does anyone know where I can find it?
Beautiful melody creator
I want to ask you a question.....How did you manage to create such a famous channel in the classical music world in CZcams? I need some advice...
Now your channel has grown so much! 😄
Just before letter F, first violin is missing B natural (compare to one bar before letter A).

Un Webern tonal,melodioso,refinado, espléndidamente musical,capaz de crear una obra tan embelesadora,antes de perderse en los obscuros,y desalmados laberintos caóticos del atonalismo...
Perhaps influence of Max Reger ?
From the little I've read, he seems to have loomed large over the composers who would later form the Second Viennese School. Very influential as a composition teacher.
you don't have to like Langsamer satz if you don't like Webern serial music

So this is where Richard Strauss famous "Metamorphosen" came from!
You know, I was just listening to this and thinking that there were some striking similarities between the two; then I saw your comment.

It also sounds not too far from Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht
Didn't Webern come after Strauss?

That sound good.
Why do they put shit into the radio instead of this
I'm lucky enough to have a 24 hour classical station in my area, so I can listen to good music instead of that "shit".

Webern avant qu'il ne devienne le fumiste que tout le monde connaît...
Il n'est pas devenu fumiste, toutes ses pièces sont d'une extrême précision, il a mis plus d'un an pour en composer certaines. Que vous n'aimiez pas est une chose, c'est votre droit le plus absolu. Mais c vous ne pouvez pas dénigrer au nom de cela la qualité du travail d'un compositeur.
J'aimerais bien que beaucoup de compositeurs de musique tonale d'aujourd'hui soient aussi « fumistes » que Webern.

こいつを交代してくれ
Not his best piece. He still had a loooong way to go. Even Schumann's string quartets were better written than this.
Schumann's string quartets are close to masterpieces.
How so?
You're dogging the wrong "Schu-" composer.
