I can hear Wagner and Mahler's influence throughout this.
...and of course, Beethoven would be a great influence.
Serial or free atonal? (Game)
No, that's because those things were already a part of Schoenberg's style (where they derived from Beethoven, Mahler, and Wagner). I find Schoenberg's music is very lyrical, though, in the sense that all of the lines sing and have melodic contour.
I can hear Wagner and Mahler's influence throughout this.Well, if he derived them from those composers, he sure took those elements up to eleven so to speak.
Quite right. I thought the video I posted was the whole thing. I didn't notice that it was only part 1.There's actually no Mahler influence in the Gurrelieder (except in the orchestration of Part 3),
