290. Alban Berg

(October 2020) Episode 290 is ALBAN BERG. He is one of the important composers of one of my favorite periods (early 20th Century modernism/avant-garde), although his body of work is not large. His compositions tend to have a more Romantic aesthetic than others of the time, such as his mentor Schoenberg. 

Favorite piece: Violin Concerto

Favorite piano piece: Piano Sonata

Compared to expectations: same
