Berg's Wozzeck by Patricia Hall
Although Berg decided immediately after seeing Buchner's play Woyzeck in May 1914 to set it to music, he did not complete his opera until 1922, with the Berlin premiere taking place in 1925. Using compositional sketches, diaries, notebooks and other archival material, Hall reveals the challenges Berg faced in completing his masterpiece.
this study of the Wozzeck sketches will be an invaluable research resource for many years to come and should be on the shelves of every self-respecting university music library and in the library of every scholar interested in Bergs opera* Nick Chadwick, Music and Letters *
