Alexander Zemlinsky's (1871 Vienna -1942 Lurchmont/USA) subtle tonal
language was well-received, however, even as the teacher and
brother-in-law of Schoenberg,
he wasn't in favor of the crass elimination of tonality (cf. A.
Berg). His experience in the theatre and as a composer for the
stage influenced his approach to his instrumental works, where he
adapted some of the aspects of film music such as in the development of
the signal theme at the beginning of the '' Lyrische Symphonie ''
(Lyrical Symphony)(1922).
Like Korngold
Zemlinsky believed that comprehension and artistic skill didn't need to
be opposed to each other and that expanded harmonies could be used as a
part of a dramatic concept, in which they could unfold their
effectiveness. The illustration shows Zemlinsky as a young man at a
time when he enjoyed Mahler's backing. After Mahler quit his position
as opera director, Zemlinsky soon left Vienna. (M. Saary)
