Focuses on the two operas of Alban Berg. If you have ever had any questions about Berg's opera Wozzeck, this book answers them for you. Each paragraph, each quoted music example, each analysis moves the argument forward in a clear incisive manner.
'Of the greatest significance... The first volume of George Perle's two-volume study on the two operas of Alban Berg... is one of those few works of scholarship and analysis you can label 'definitive'; it may in time be supplemented, but not superseded.' - Richard Dyer, Boston Sunday Globe.
