Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brandeis University, 1987.

Because of the numerous technical innovations in his music, Webern analysis has generally become very predictable in the form of technical descriptions. Most notable among these descriptions are those of palindromes and canons. However, Webern's applications of these two devices have achieved a new dimension that exceeds far beyond the conventional perceptions. Therefore, in order to comprehend the true musical meanings of the Symphony which is based on these two devices exclusively, this essay confronts the current analytical approaches toward Webern's compositions in general and offers new perspectives for analyzing the palindromes and canons in the Symphony in particular. It first investigates the nature of these two devices and also Webern's unique applications of them in his early twelve-tone works, including those in the second movement of the Symphony. A fundamental distinction is thus found between the use of these two devices as formal formulas on the one hand and as technical formulas on the other. And with Webern's apparent lack of interest in the former, it is clear that the structural coherence of the Symphony is a direct result of Webern's ability to reinterprete the compositional potentials possessed by the two devices. It then proceeds to analyze the first movement in detail by applying the new perspectives. The result is a completely fresh understanding of the structural coherence and the musical drama of this important work.Subjects--Topical Terms:
