Whereas this is obviously true conceptually, I am not quite
convinced that his music necessarily has to be done this way. I read
somewhere the story of a singer who was totally at loss with
dodecaphonic music until she learned to sing the tone rows. My
interpretation of what happend is that she settled on a series of JI
intervals that let her go through them without having a comma left
over at the end.
I have a hunch that this works very well for Schönberg and Berg,
Apostel and some Krenek, and probably not for Webern and hard core
serialism. Does anybody have experiences with this?
