The Kammerkonzert für Klavier und Geige mit 13 Bläsern (Chamber Concerto for Piano and Violin with 13 Wind Instruments) is a piece of chamber music composed by Austrian composer Alban Berg. It was composed between 1923 and 1925. The short score was completed on 9 February 1925; the full score was finished on 23 July 1925. The work was premiered on 19 March 1927.
The work is scored for piano and violin soloists accompanied by a wind ensemble of 13: piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, E♭ clarinet, A clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two French horns, trumpet, and trombone. It is in three movements:
1. Thema scherzoso con variazioni
2. Adagio
3. Rondo ritmico con introduzione
According to AllMusic, the concerto is "remarkable for the thoroughness of its organization; that is, it was composed with rigorous attention to minute details, and its structure is derived from a series of complex mathematical relationships. For example, the first movement's 240 measures consist of 30 and 60 measure variations, the second is 240 measures, and the third is the length of the previous two at 480 measures."
The first movement involves mainly the piano and the 13 wind instruments (with a brief appearance by the solo violin). For the theme of the movement, Berg uses German notation to musically spell out the names of himself and his two friends and fellow members of the Second Viennese School:
Arnold Schoenberg (in the German spelling) ArnolD SCHönBErG → A-D-E♭-C-B-B♭-E-G
Anton wEBErn → A-E-B♭-E
AlBAn BErG → A-B♭-A-B♭-E-G
The work was composed for Arnold Schoenberg's 50th birthday, and it is his "name" that Berg creates a 12-note row out of, prefixing it by the 'missing' notes of the chromatic scale. This theme is then treated to four variations, using the common manipulations of twelve-tone technique:
Var. 1 - Prime
Var. 2 - Retrograde
Var. 3 - Inversion
Var. 4 - Retrograde inversion
The piece of this video, Kammerkonzert für Klavier und Geige mit 13 Bläsern (2º Mov., Adagio), is the second movement of the Alban Berg's Kammerkonzert für Klavier und Geige mit 13 Bläsern.
