Seven Early Songs (Berg)The Seven Early Songs (Sieben frhe Lieder), written from 1905 to 1908, are early compositions of Alban Berg while he was still under the tutelage of Arnold Schoenberg. They are an interesting synthesis combining Berg's heritage of pre-Schoenberg song writing with the rigour and undeniable influence of Schoenberg. The writing carries with it very much the heritage of Richard Strauss through the expansiveness of gesture and 'opening of new vistas', and that of Richard Wagner. They are for soprano and piano, although they were revised and orchestrated in 1928. The songs are: 1. Nacht (text by Carl Hauptmann) 2. Schilflied (Nikolaus Lenau) 3. Die Nachtigall (Theodor Storm) 4. Traumgekrnt (Rainer Maria Rilke) 5. Im Zimmer (Johanes Schlaf) 6. Liebesode (Otto Erich Hartleben) 7. Sommertage (Paul Hohenberg)
