Alexander Zemlinsky, a protégé of Brahms and Mahler, was an influential composer whose work was largely overlooked after his death, often remembered only as Schoenberg's brother-in-law. Recent scholarly attention, sparked by centenary celebrations, has revealed his significant contributions to music, showcasing his exceptional melodic talent across operas, choral works, chamber music, and symphonic pieces. His mastery is particularly evident in his extensive collection of over one hundred songs, highlighting him as a forgotten master of the early 20th century.
