Once again we offer you the chance to win three pairs of free tickets: this time, to the opening concert of the Cleveland Orchestra’s residency, with Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. Along with works by Schubert, he will conduct the Lulu Suite by Alban Berg. Our question concerns the latter Viennese composer.
Please answer the following:
As a promising young composer, Alban Berg followed in Franz Schubert’s footsteps and composed numerous songs. These were first played in the Berg household by members of the family circle, with Alban Berg’s brother Charley as singer and his younger sister at the piano. We would like you to tell us this sister’s name, which indeed hints at the parents’ rather extravagant taste.
What was the name of Alban Berg’s sister?
a. Esmeralda
b. Smaragda
c. Eulalia
d. Wichtrud
e. Maria Magdalena
Please send the letter and name that you believe corresponds to the correct answer to the following address: [complete]
We will randomly select the winners of three pairs of free tickets from those who have sent in the correct answer. Responses must be received by XXXXX. The decision is final.
