Description:
Schoenberg's early work, the symphonic poem Pelleas et Melisande, is often compared to Debussy's opera of the same name. However, its music is frighteningly rich and colorful. Schoenberg, who succeeded in conveying the progress of the play and the characters' emotional responses in every detail, further delves into the darkness of the protagonist's mind in the monodrama "Expectations," and even expresses the sensuality of being entangled in madness.
