Abstract. This article examines the artistic material of Arnold Schoenberg's vocal cycle «Cabaret Songs”, specifically the individual songs: «Galatea”, «Gigerletta”, 'The Modest Lover», «The Simple Song', «Reminder», «To Each His Own» and «Mirrors of the Arcade» — for the uniqueness of the genre within the composer's oeuvre. This material is particularly relevant due to the musically expressive and dramatic complexities of the work's musical text and the rarity of its performances. The author thoroughly analyzes the poetic text, the structure of the cycle, and the work's place in the composer's oeuvre, providing a meticulous methodological and performance analysis of the main complexities of the musical fabric of the works.
Key words: Arnold Schoenberg, vocal cycle, Cabaret Songs, chamber vocal works.
