When Austrian composer Alban Berg was working on his opera Lulu, he wrote three Baudelaire songs as a Konzertaria entitled Der Wein. Premiered in 1930, Der Wein is a large-scale work for voice and orchestra. Berg uses a German translation by Stefan George, but the published score is in parallel texts, accommodating the French verse line. The chapter also considers a ‘hidden’ Baudelaire setting from Berg’s 1926 Lyric Suite for string quartet. The analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shape an evaluation of Berg’s settings of Baudelaire. Evidence suggests that Berg’s settings of Baudelaire are loosely entangled; the highly prescriptive score affects syntax, semantics, and prosody. Yet, because Der Wein has stood the test of time, the settings are deemed loosely accretive.

Integrando um amplo projeto de pesquisa que visa elaborar uma metodologia analítica específica para os procedimentos de variação progressiva, o presente estudo examina a possibilidade de existência de, por assim dizer, transmissão hereditária (extraopus) na construção da ideia primordial (ou Grundgestalt) de uma peça musical. Para isso, é analisada a primeira das Quatro Canções op.2, de Alban Berg, cuja Grundgestalt apresenta-se como um complexo formado por várias transformações de elementos-chave extraídos de três obras: Tristão e Isolda de Richard Wagner, a Primeira Sinfonia de Câmara op.9 de Arnold Schoenberg e a Sonata para Piano op.1, do próprio Berg.
