Curved Air presents:

[He even looks bore. This picture was probably taken while he was composing Wozzeck. Ugh.]

 

Everything ever written by Alban Berg, one or the so-called masters of The Second Viennese School is slow and depressing and pointless You’ll hate every long, agonizing minute of it. Fortunately, most of Berg’s compositions are unbearably long, so you are sure to be extra bored.

 

[This portrait of Berg perfectly captures his brilliant dullness. You can almost hear the ennui. Sigh.]
