Oscar Peterson Plays George Gershwin is a 1952 album by pianist Oscar Peterson of popular songs written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.
 Several tracks were included on the 1959 album "Oscar Peterson Plays the George Gershwin Songbook".
Alban Maria Johannes Berg ( ; ] ; February 9, 1885 – December 24, 1935) was an Austrian composer of the Second Viennese School.
 His compositional style combined Romantic lyricism with twelve-tone technique.
Walter Levin (December 6, 1924 – August 4, 2017) was the founder, first violinist, and guiding spirit of the LaSalle Quartet (active 1947–1987), which was known for its championing of contemporary composers, for its recordings of the Second Viennese School (Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern), as well as for its intellectually penetrating interpretations of the classical and romantic quartet repertory, in particular the late quartets of Beethoven.
 Levin was also an important pedagogue, having taught many of the world’s leading string quartets, among them the Alban Berg Quartet and the Arditti Quartet; other prominent students include the conductor James Levine, the violinist Christian Tetzlaff and the pianist Stefan Litwin.
Alban Berg's Violin Concerto was written in 1935 (the score is dated 11 August 1935).
 It is probably Berg's best-known and most frequently performed instrumental piece, in which the composer sought to reconcile diatonicism and dodecaphony.
 Berg composed it on a commission from Louis Krasner, and it became the last work that he completed.
 Krasner performed the solo part in the premiere at the Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona on 19 April 1936, after the composer's death.
George Jacob Gershwin ( ; September 26, 1898 July 11, 1937) was an American composer and pianist.
 Gershwin's compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, and his most popular melodies are widely known.
 Among his best-known works are the orchestral compositions "Rhapsody in Blue" (1924) and "An American in Paris" (1928) as well as the opera "Porgy and Bess" (1935).
Oscar Peterson Plays the George Gershwin Songbook is a 1959 album by pianist Oscar Peterson of compositions written by George Gershwin.
 Peterson had recorded many of the pieces for his 1952 album "Oscar Peterson Plays George Gershwin".
Hershey Felder (born July 9, 1968) is a Canadian pianist, actor, playwright, composer, producer, and director.
 He created (as playwright, actor, and pianist) the role of American composer George Gershwin for the theatrical stage in the play "George Gershwin Alone", which was followed by the creation of the roles of Fryderyk Chopin, the Polish composer-pianist; Ludwig van Beethoven and Gerhard von Breuning in "Beethoven"; Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro Bernstein"; Franz Liszt in "Musik"; Irving Berlin in "Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin"; and Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in "Our Great Tchaikovsky".
 "The Composer Sonata" comprises these works.
The Five Orchestral Songs (German: "Fünf Orchesterlieder, nach Ansichtkarten-Texten von Peter Altenberg" ), Op.
 4, for medium voice and orchestra, were composed by Alban Berg in 1911/12.
 Numbers 2 and 3 were premiered under the baton of Berg's teacher Arnold Schoenberg at the Vienna Musikverein on 31 March 1913, known as the "Skandalkonzert" for the riot that erupted during Berg's songs.
 The texts are taken from picture-postcard texts ('Ansichtskartentexte' in German ) by the contemporary Viennese poet Peter Altenberg (hence the more commonly used title Altenberg Lieder ).
 The texts deal with the stormy but beautiful condition of the soul, and the palpable sensations of love and longing.
 Berg's setting is for a large orchestra.
 The music has many displaced ostinati and the conflicted, lyrical passion found in much of Berg's works.
Wozzeck (] ) is the first opera by the Austrian composer Alban Berg.
 It was composed between 1914 and 1922 and first performed in 1925.
 The opera is based on the drama "Woyzeck", which was left incomplete by the German playwright Georg Büchner at his death.
 Berg attended the first production in Vienna of Büchner's play on 5 May 1914, and knew at once that he wanted to base an opera on it.
 From the fragments of unordered scenes left by Büchner, Berg selected fifteen to form a compact structure of three acts with five scenes each.
 He adapted the libretto himself, retaining "the essential character of the play, with its many short scenes, its abrupt and sometimes brutal language, and its stark, if haunted, realism..."
The Alban Berg Quartett was a string quartet founded in Vienna, Austria in 1970, named after Alban Berg.
