Luigi Dallapiccola was one of twentieth century's most accomplished and admired composers. His music incorporated many of the twelve-tone techniques developed by Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton von Webern, but blended their expressionistic impulses with an Italianate sense of lyricism. Brian Alegant's The Twelve-Tone Music of Luigi Dallapiccola traces the evolution of Dallapiccola's compositional technique over a thirty-year period (1942-74). Using both historical and music-analytical lenses, this book documents the influences of Webern and Schoenberg, highlights Dallapiccola's innovative handling of harmony, form, and text setting, and sheds light on several works that have been virtually ignored. Alegant's book will be a crucial source of insights for scholars and other readers interested in twentieth-century music.

«My generation is guilty through and through : no justification is possible. At most there may be extenuating circumstances… Fascism — Dallapiccola claimed — had used a new weapon… a weapon much mightier than the magnetic mines: in comparison, even the atomic bomb begins to look trifling. The weapon I refer to is much more subtle and underhand. It took years to realize this and to discover its secret. The first to use it systematically and on a vast scale in the West was Benito Mussolini. This weapon is called Propaganda. With it and with the stifling of the press, its first derivative, a lie can be turned into truth.» [‘Prime composizioni corali. Postscriptum’, 29 January 1962.]
