Abstract
Alexander Zemlinsky (1871-1942) forms an important link in the chain which joins together the music of the late R m ic period with t t of the twentieth c ntu y. The current revival of early twentieth-cen? ury music has produced a rekindled i terest in the life and creative o tput of this signifi ant musician, about whom little has been known until recently. Recent articles by Arnost Mahler1 and Horst Weber2 have contributed to the reevaluation of his i portance, as hav my dissertation 3 and a collection of essays which appeared last year.4 Another nec ssary ingredient in this re ppraisal is a chronological listing of his compositions, which is the pur ose of this article. An Austrian a d a graduate of the Vienna Conservatory, Zemlinsky received advice from the elderly Brahms, admired Hugo Wolf, and was a protege of Gustav Mahler. He was a friend and br ther-in-law to Arnold Schoenberg, nd Sc o nberg obtained his only formal music l raini g from Zemlinsky. Alban B also asked Zemlinsky for advi e, and dedicated th Lyrische Suite to him; Zemlinsky provided a job for Anton Webern.
