贝尔格生于维出纳。1904年,贝尔格与威伯恩一道,成了勋伯格的学生,即后人所称“新维也纳乐派”。在此之前他只在中学里学过一点音乐,但他写的一些歌曲却得到大作曲家勋伯格的赞赏。 贝尔格的最初作品均呈现出无调性的表现主义风格,其中包括《五首乐队伴奏的歌曲》(1912)《三首乐队作品》(1914—1915)和他最著名的歌剧《沃采克》(1917—1922)。 虽然贝尔格和威伯恩都采用了勋伯格”序列主义”的音乐创作方法,但两人各有千秋,在风格上并不雷同。威伯恩尽可能地遵守勋伯格的各项“规则”;而贝尔格在创作中却比较自由:如果想创造一种所需要的效果,他可以不按照原形的序列来处理音高,并经常使用音列之外的音乐素材。 Berger was born in Vienna cashier. In 1904, Berger became a student of Schoenberg, together with Wiburn, who later called “the New Viennese Music School.” Before that he had only learned a bit of music in high school, but some of the songs he wrote were appreciated by composer Schoenberg. Berger’s initial works show an atonalist expressionist style, including “five songs by the band” (1912) “three works of the band” (1914-1915) and his most famous opera “Wo Zac ”(1917-1922). Although Berg and Weiborn both adopted Schoenberg’s “serialism” approach to music production, they both have their strengths and weaknesses and are not the same in style. Weiburn follows Schönberg’s “rules” as much as possible; and Berger is more liberal in his writing: he can not handle the pitch in the original sequence if he wants to create the desired effect Frequent use of musical material other than music.
