J: Whoa did you know Berg only lived to be 50?
J: oh and he died on Christmas eve 1935. NOT a Fröhliche Weinachten der Alban.
J: oh so that makes this December 24th the 79th anniversary of his death.
J: I mean 70th
A: haha
J: We should do something.
J: something...not totally tonal
A: Maybe a blog special called "A Very Berg Christams Eve"
A: "Rudolph is a Whore: Christmas with Alban Berg"
J:: hahah
J: OR
J: we could do "The Twelve Days of Berg" and come up with something for each day
A: Ending with the anniversary of his early death...brilliant
J: "On the first day of Alban, my true love gave to me...a whore living in misery"

Oddly enough we used to refer to Anne Sofie von Otter's Christmas album as "An Alban Berg Christmas" because it was so bleak and angst-ridden.
That is delightful. I am glad we all seem to be in agreement regarding the "12 Days of Alban Berg" as a good holiday theme for the blog.
