Stravinsky, Schoenberg and Alan Berg in class. Heard "Rite of Spring", No. 8 "Night" and watched parts of "Wozzeck". I can't help but be fascinated by these three pieces, especially the scene in wozzeck when the protagonist returns to the river bank:

"Murder! Murder!"
"They are on to me! Wait, that was my own voice, ha..haha"
"Murder! Murder!"

Death is a master from Germany indeed.
