Par ZEMLINSKY ALEXANDER. La musique d’Alexander Zemlinsky est longtemps injustement restée dans l’ombre de la deuxième École de Vienne, considérée comme «plus progressiste». Certes, Zemlinsky était amicalement très proche de l’une des personnalités les plus en vue de cette école, Arnold Schönberg, mais il n’a jamais franchi le pas de la radicalité dodécaphonique. Il n’en composa pas pour autant de…
