...variations, in the second a five-movement symphony, in the third a series of inventions. Like Schönberg he used the combination of song and speech which the Germans call sprechstimme. But behind his strict design and his many novel effects (in one scene he introduces an accordion, harmonica and guitar), there is the same savage pity that Büchner had for his soldier.
