On the DaSCH Service Platform (DSP), the Anton Webern Gesamtausgabe is collecting information relating to Anton Webern’s circle under the heading Persons. This section concerns his family circle as well as his friends and colleagues, as far as can be gathered from biographical information, his own statements in letters, diaries, notes, or memories from others. Also included are people who, in a broader sense, were in contact with the composer, or who he was in touch with, directly or indirectly, such as various personalities from the theatre and music industry. This person-database is under construction and is constantly extended.

Each person is classified as a separate object, with keyword information about important biographical facts as well as about their connection to Anton Webern.
