Musicology Annotation << Back Schenker and Schoenberg Elena Lagutina The article is devoted to the relationship between Heinrich Schenker and Arnold Schoenberg, two contemporaries, who represent opposite poles of the Viennese musical society at the beginning of the twentieth century. In its historical aspect the research contains the complete collection of documents on the declared subject: diaries, letters and archival notes of both musicians. The Russian translation of marginal notes made by Schoenberg on the pages of Schenker´s books from the Viennese collection of the Arnold Schönberg Center is introduced to the academic community for the first time. The article brings out both the personal side of the relationship between Schenker and Schoenberg and the correlation of their philosophical, aesthetical views and theoretical conceptions. The comparison is based on the analyses of two Theories of Harmony (by Schenker, published in 1906, and by Schoenberg, 1911) and discovers unexpected (for a composer-innovator and a classical centrist theorist) similarities of their concepts, terminological parallels and intersection points. Thus a more clear and precise picture of the development of musical science in the twentieth century can be made. Keywords: H. Schenker, A. Schoenberg, relationship, theory of harmony, letters.
