Alban Berg (9 February 1885 – 24 December 1935) was a great Austrian composer mostly in atonal and serial styles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harsh Realities

It’s unlikely that Alban Berg’s Lulu

Is a popular feature on Hulu,

And it isn’t too likely to climb

In the ratings at Amazon Prime,

And you won’t find it there if you get flicks

With a streaming subscription from Netflix,

And it goes without saying, you’re not able

To watch it on regular cable.

There may be no streaming locale

For Alban Berg’s louche femme fatale.
