    Information

    Inhalt

    Hanns Eisler attended private lessons with Arnold Schönberg in Mödling between 1919 and 1923. Schönberg taught him free of charge as he was convinced that the young composer was talented. Tensions arose between the two artists when Eisler adopted socialist ideals both politically and in his composing. In 1938, five years after his teacher, Eisler emigrated to the US where initial difficulties were followed by success as a film music composer. He was ultimately able to purchase a house near Schönberg in Brentwood.

    Eisler’s sextet “Fourteen Ways to Describe Rain” was composed for a project sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, as experimental film music for Joris Ivens’ silent documentary “Rain”. The piece uses twelve-tone writing and begins with the sequence of notes A-E flat-C-B, which in German (A-eS-C-H) stands for Schönberg, to whom the work is dedicated on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Schönberg’s Estate does not contain a score of this composition, but there is a set with two records in a self-made cardboard box on which he wrote “EISLER”. It contains a recording of the work that originated in connection with Eisler’s research project at the New School for Social Research, New York, and includes Schönberg’s students Rudolf Kolisch (violin) and Eduard Steuermann (piano) as performers.
