Krzenek

Japanese: クルシェネク
Krzenek
An Austrian Jewish composer, also known as Kuchenek. He studied under the composer Schreker in his native Vienna and Berlin. In Berlin, he developed close friendships with Busoni and Scherchen. Under the influence of his teacher Schreker, he started out in the late romantic style, but his compositions moved on to atonal and neoclassical styles, and he gained instant fame with his opera Johnny Plays (1926), which incorporated jazz idioms. After returning to Vienna, he introduced twelve-tone technique (twelve-tone music) through his interactions with Berg and Webern. He completed the opera Charles V (1933, revised in 1954), but due to Nazi oppression, he fled to the United States in 1938 and obtained citizenship in 1945. He continued to compose prolifically after his exile, and his choral piece Lamentations of Jeremiah (1941), which used his unique twelve-tone technique, influenced Stravinsky. From the late 1950s, he adopted the technique of musique seriale. He is a prolific author, and his correspondence with philosopher Adorno (1929-1964) is a valuable testimony of 20th century cultural history.

オーストリアのユダヤ系作曲家。クシェネクともいう。生地ウィーンとベルリンで作曲家シュレーカーに師事。ベルリンではブゾーニ,シェルヘンらと親交を深めた。師シュレーカーの影響下に後期ロマン派様式から出発したその作曲活動は,無調,新古典主義と遍歴を重ね,ジャズの語法を取り入れたオペラ《ジョニーは演奏》する(1926年)で一躍名声を得た。ウィーン帰郷後は,ベルク,ウェーベルンらとの交流をきっかけに12音技法(十二音音楽)を導入。オペラ《カール5世》(1933年,改訂1954年)を完成するが,ナチスの圧迫を受け1938年米国へ亡命,1945年市民権を得る。亡命後も旺盛な作曲活動を展開し,独自の12音技法を用いた合唱曲《エレミアの哀歌》(1941年)はストラビンスキーにも影響を与えた。1950年代後半からはミュジック・セリエルの技法を採用。著書も多く,哲学者アドルノとの往復書簡(1929年−1964年)は20世紀文化史の貴重な証言となっている。
