I downloaded a bunch of Webern stuff for my ipod which I use for long
walks. Not easy listening music but it is interesting and gives me
much to think about. I along with the usual Webern, I also got his
German dances which are from a different musical world the the rest of
what I downloaded. Is there a story behind it? Was it from his early
period? Did he write them just to mess with people?
