Description
Plate No. 37 from the series Los Caprichos (The Caprices). Goya endows animals with human characteristics, the pupil (a donkey) instructing the teacher (an older donkey), in the alphabet. Behind the image is the concept of how schools of learning transmit follies and falsehoods. With an introductory ass-like braying, the composer begins to lampoon the twelve-tone system of Schoenberg and his followers. After setting out the tone-row, the twelve notes are deployed (with added harmonies) in a Gavotte, before being ‘inverted’ and ‘retrograded’ in the usual manner of dodecaphonic practitioners. As well as Gavottes, two Musettes are added, mocking modern dissonance in a playful manner.
