About
Marx was hostile to the musical radicalism of the generation of Schoenberg, Webern and Berg, proclaiming to the end his belief in the power of tonality to express the whole gamut of human emotion. Like his older contemporary Richard Strauss, he remained deep down a late-Romantic (he liked to dub himself ‘a Romantic realist’) in a fractured, modernist age.
During the years 1908–12 Marx composed around 120 songs, some of which were published in the collections Italienische Lieder I–II (1912) and Lieder und Gesänge I–III (1910–12). Nowadays these songs are regarded as the finest works that he produced.
