Fluctuating and suspended meter in selected passages from Arnold Schoenberg’s Das Buch der hangenden Garten, Opus 15

This thesis explores Arnold Schoenberg's use of meter in Das Buck
der hangenden Garten, Opus 15. The thesis works from the premise that
Schoenberg treats meter in a manner analogous to that usually associated
with pitch material: meter is motivic in nature, and can be subjected to
developmental techniques. The concepts of fluctuating meter and
suspended meter are developed, and used to describe the music; these
concepts are derived from an analogy with Schoenberg's own terms
schwebende Tonalitat and aufgehobene Tonalitat (fluctuating and
suspended tonality). Selected excerpts from the song cycle are analyzed.
The analyses focus on issues of meter, although some pitch analysis is used
to complement the discussion.
