Only in Arnold Schönberg’s “Accompaniment Music to a Film Scene” from 1929 was there tonal gloom, fateful climaxes, the fall into the bottomless, “imminent danger, fear, catastrophe”. Schönberg’s music was intended to serve such a black film. Unfortunately, this film was never made, probably also because Schönberg’s music directs the flow of emotions so suggestively that a separate film from danger to fear to catastrophe plays out in everyone’s head. Vladimir Jurowski and the State Orchestra achieved this impressively at the 4th Academy Concert in the National Theater.
