Wagner and Liszt are known to have been pioneers of surpassing the Classical-Romantic harmonic vocabulary. In Liszt’s case, the revolutionary innovations came especially with the late works, four of which are now performed. Written in the early 1880s, they document Wagner’s death-like journal entries, giving voice to the stages of grief, from premonition through shock, despair, dissolution and release to reconciliation. Schönberg’s second string quartet was written at a time of private crisis, when Mathilde Schönberg temporarily left him for a painter. Movements 3 and 4 even cross the boundaries of the genre when a soprano soloist joins the pinnacle of chamber music, the string quartet.
