Die kurze Abhandlung "Das Verhältnis zum Text" gehört zu den frühen musiktheoretischen Arbeiten von Arnold Schönberg. Sie erschien 1912, also ein Jahr nach seiner "Harmonielehre". In dem Essay verteidigt Schönberg die Eigenständigkeit und Besonderheit der Musik gegenüber anderen Kunst- und Erkenntnisformen.

Wie bei allen Werken der ofd edition wurde die ursprüngliche Druckfassung nicht automatisiert kopiert, sondern sorgfältig neu editiert und der aktuellen Rechtschreibung angepasst.

Das Verhältnis zum Text - Neu bearbeitete Ausgabe (Klassiker der ofd edition)

« Non ero mai stato soddisfatto delle conoscenze d'armonia dei miei studenti di composizione. Per rimediare a tale insufficienza istituii un nuovo corso: "Funzioni strutturali dell'armonia". »Le celebri « lezioni americane » di Schönberg rappresentano un caposaldo nella produzione teorica del padre della dodecafonia, e uno dei risultati più maturi di un'attività didattica che avrà una portata determinante per le sorti della musica contemporanea. L'opera fornisce le basi metodologiche per lo studio dell'evoluzione del linguaggio armonico, seguendone lo sviluppo dallo stabilizzarsi del principio tonale alla sua dissoluzione. È al tempo stesso il seguito del Manuale di armonia e un approfondimento di aspetti tecnico-compositivi che, grazie all'acquisita esperienza dodecafonica e seriale, Schönberg considerò sotto una luce nuova.

Funzioni strutturali dell’armonia

Arnold Schönberg (1874-1951), uno dei maggiori compositori del Novecento, ha legato il suo nome alla rivoluzionaria invenzione della musica dodecafonica. Dopo aver insegnato composizione all'Accademia delle arti di Berlino, nel 1933, in seguito all'avvento del nazismo, fuggì a Parigi e in seguito emigrò negli Stati Uniti. Lì continuò a insegnare alla University of California di Los Angeles. Il Saggiatore ha pubblicato Funzioni strutturali dell'armonia e i diari Leggere il cielo.

Arnold Schönberg is the central figure in the musical world of this century. His musical significance was already apparent during his life-time, but his posthumous influence has increased immensely. His work paved the way for ground-breaking changes in musical perception. This complete edition aspires to be equally indispensable for research as well as for performance. The edition is published in two series : series A in folio format contains all completed works, all piano scores prepared by the composer himself and all unfinished works suitable for performance ; also fragments (large scores) which are better suited to be printed in such a format. Series B, in quarto format, contains early versions, sketches, ideas and fragments as well as genesis and a Critical Commentary. Instrumentation : orchestra op. 5

In the last few decades, Arnold Schönberg's piano works have found their place in the "classical" concert repertory. The acceptance of this rather small oeuvre has largely been the work of performing musicians. After the examples set by Eduard Steuermann and Else C. Kraus, pianists such as Glenn Gould, Maurizio Pollini and Claude Helffer (as well as many others) have, in their concerts and recordings, presented this group of works - Opp. 11, 19, 23, 25 and 33a/b - as an historically and aesthetically significant totality. Of particular importance has been the programming of these pieces in concerts along with Beethoven's sonatas, which, for a large circle of listeners, has lent them the aura of classical works of art.
