Abstract

The third piece of Schoenberg's Op. 11 has been associated with his brief period of "radical athematicism." In our study, we provide strong analytical evidence against this claim. The piece is the result of developing variation applied to an initial Grundgestalt. In other words, the organic conception of form that characterized his entire body of work also structures this composition.
