Anton Webern - looked up to by many as modernism’s flag-bearer, leading the charge to break all links with musical tradition – actually had a strong interest in Renaissance music. Before he began studying composition with Schoenberg, Webern graduated from Vienna University with a doctorate in musicology. Under Guido Adler, Webern’s major project was to prepare a new edition of Choralis constantinus by Heinrich Isaac, a Dutch composer from the turn of the 16th Century. |
