DESCRIPTION:
The second part of Adornos Studies for String Quartet. Again he's reflecting a specific movment of string quartets. The - in total - six studies were composed 1920, before Adorno went to Vienna in 1925 to study composition with Alban Berg. Berg was along with Arnold Schönberg one of the most influential composer of 12-tone music (Dodecaphony). This 'New Music' were often reflected in Adornos theoretical work. For an introduction to this work you can read 'Essays on Music' (2002) edited and commentated by Richard Leppert.
My video plays along with the music and is my personal interpretation of it. Hope you enjoy!

The music used in this video is performed by the Leipzig String Quartet (Leipziger Streichquartett). If you like the music please buy the CD (Theodor W. Adorno - Hanns Eisler, Works for String Quartet)
