Abstract:
This is a French translation of a paper given by pianist and musicologist Peter Stadlen at the 1972 Webern Conference in Vienna. The author first demonstrates that in several of Webern's late works, the composer's predilection for musical palindromes plays an important role in the organisation of series of both pitches and durations. But for all those who see Webern as a cold, abstract mathematician, the author has first-hand evidence to the contrary. During his time with Webern, working on Variations for piano , op. 27 in preparation for the work's premiere (Vienna, October 26, 1937) the author discovered in Webern a veritable "lyric poet," one who was always concerned with the expressiveness of his compositions.
