3 This observation has been confirmed dramatically by the sketch studies of Patricia Hall (‘The Progress of a Method: Berg's Tone Rows for Lulu’, Lulu 71 (1985), 500–19). It now seems possible to state that the first phase of the opera's composition extended probably as far as, but certainly no further than, bar 521 of Act 1.Google Scholar
