What is A Struggle for Recognition, 1911–15 about?

Chapter 3 covers Berg’s life and music from the end of his apprenticeship until his conscription in the Austrian army during World War II. During this time Berg worked mainly as an assistant for his teacher, Schoenberg, and he also made several piano arrangements for the publisher Universal Edition. Berg was increasingly active as a writer on music, and in 1913 he completed a lengthy technical analysis of Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder. His compositions during the period contain many new procedures and materials that go beyond those approved of by Schoenberg. His Altenberg Songs (1912) and Orchestra Pieces (1914–15) reach a new level of complexity in their deep structure, and these works are intensely unified by the development and variation of themes. His Clarinet Pieces (1913) are brief works in an “aphoristic” style also used at the time by Schoenberg and Anton Webern.
