Summary
Martin Bookspan interviews composer and music theorist George Perle. Perle discusses his background, his career as a composer, and his influences.The composer talks about his article on Webern's 12-tone sketches, and explains the 12-tone system that he uses in his music in some detail. He talks about the influence of Berg and Stravinsky in his composition, but though he uses aspects of their methods in his own composing, he never adoptes them fully. He speaks about the meaning of avant-garde and new classical music in past and today, and compares it to "conservative music." He discusses the opera Lulu by Alban Berg. The composer introduces each of the following works, which are then played in their entierty: String quartert no. 5, Solo partita (for violin and viola), Serenade no. 1 (for solo viola and chamber orchestra).
