Description:
Anyone who has Gustav Mahler's songs in their ears will perhaps be amazed at how little painterly they are when they encounter Alma's songs. The choice of text, melody and piano writing show that Alma tended in a different direction through structure and instruction. Robert Schollum emphasizes the influence of Zemlinsky, through which the influences of Wagner (harmonic) and Brahms (formally) became effective. "If one compares Zemlinsky's songs with those of his pupil, one finds the same tonally bound but harmonically iridescent sound world: one notices the struggle to overcome tonality..." (Herta Blaukopf)
