In 1909, Schönberg symbolized faraway ocean sounds in his piano lied
Am Strande [“At the Beach”] by using “flageolet – silently depressing the
keys.” Thus the piano’s sonic scope was enriched by a resonance sound
for the first time; Schönberg used it again the same year in his piano
piece op. 11/1. In various compositional ways, this program traces the
potential of this phenomenon, using overtones, resonances and reverberation
effects, expansion and differentiation of Klangfarbe, tension
between quiet and sound, impulse and echo.
