Jelavich’s second chapter, “Between Elitism and Entertainment: Wolzogen’s Motley Theatre,” is the principal source for much of this short summary of the Überbrettl. 37.

Scholars are divided about the influence of the Überbrettl on the much later creation of Pierrot in general and on Sprechstimme in particular. Early commentators made a connection between the Sprechstimme and cabaret performance styles. 41 Early German cabaret, performed on a proscenium stage, was a succession of songs, poems, and skits, not unlike a variety show. It sought an elite audience and struggled to elevate itself above more seedy entertainments such as Tingeltangel. ”43 However, Stuckenschmidt and Stadlen have both rejected a French influence on Sprechstimme, noting that early Berlin cabaret 14 Chapter 1 did not have the diseuse performing tradition.
To demonstrate the extent to which Schoenberg departed from such logical organization, consider the op. 20 song “Herzgewächse” (1911), written for “high” soprano, celesta, harmonium, and harp. 21 It is easy to understand why. In what must be one of the first references to “Herzgewächse” in print outside Germany, an anonymous wit described it in the Musical Times by noting, “Anyone can invent the accompaniment by playing any chords at any moment below the vocal line. . ”22 The sarcasm in this statement masks the writer’s frustration in seeking the coherence in the song, and especially the kind of thematic and harmonic coherence that Schoenberg expressly avoided.
