"The central point of this book is the realization that the creative work of Alban
Berg, which in recent years has moved to the forefront of scholarly interest, is largely
rooted in autobiography, so that therefore one can gain access to the music by studying
the inner biography of its creator. Accordingly, the first of the three parts of this
volume outlines a character portrait of this great composer. Part two considers the
conditions relevant to a deeper understanding of Berg and of the Second Viennese School
generally. In part three, then, Berg's key works will be analyzed and semantically
deciphered in terms of his inner biography. The study is based not only on the sources
in print but also on the rich unpublished material. Alban Berg was incapable of composing
without a program. He needed an extra-musical stimulus. With him, personal experience
was the indispensable condition of the creative process: the autobiographic reference
was all-important for composing."
