I've Done This Myself. A Real Biting Tone.

I've done this myself. A real biting tone.

This is the precise opposite of my experience

I first saw this recording a long time ago, this actual sleeve design, in a bookstore on Broadway, the Gryphon perhaps, a year or so after I first performed the Berg op. 1 myself. I wasn't crazy about the performance then but of course I am so now, and all the others (live) out there. The work is such a masterpiece. Hard to believe Schoenberg found it amateurish, or whatever his word was, I can't recall just now, but it had something to do with being a student production. But Schoenberg was so great himself, so capable, he was either 1) jealous, or 2) simply past such rich post-romantic, pre-atonal sonic vocabulary.

I don't think the player here is Mr Fuss, but I could be wrong.
