 Arnold Schoenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schoenberg's music had made a break from tonality, which greatly polarised responses to it: his followers and students saw him as one of the most important figures in music, while critics hated his work, on the whole.
Schoenberg was also a painter of considerable individuality, whose pictures were considered good enough to exhibit alongside those of Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, and he wrote extensively: plays and poems, as well as essays not only about music but about politics and the social/historical situation of the Jewish people.
Schoenberg, who criticized Mahler's first several symphonies, was nevertheless influenced by Mahler's art, championed his work and considered Mahler a "saint." Despite his Jewish background, Schoenberg was brought up as a Catholic, and in 1898 he converted to Lutheranism.

 Pierrot Lunaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierrot Lunaire ("Moonstruck Pierrot" or "Pierrot in the moonlight") is an important work of Arnold Schoenberg, a setting of Albert Giraud's work of French poems of the same name (translated into German by Erich Otto von Hartleben) to music.
Schoenberg used the technique of Klangfarbenmelodie in this work, as well as innovative musical techniques to add some sort of structure between the poems.
The work is atonal, but not twelve-tone as Schoenberg did not begin experimenting with twelve-tone music until later in his career.

 Essentials of Music - Composers
Schoenberg's early music was clearly marked by the style of the late nineteenth century, and influences of Brahms, Mahler and others can be seen in pieces such as his Verklärte Nacht.
The music of this period is also marked by a style that is referred to as expressionist, and Schoenberg had contact with, and a great deal of admiration for, the expressionist painters and writers (Schoenberg himself painted in an expressionist style).
Few composers have presented as radically new an idea as Schoenberg did with what he called his "Method of Composing with Twelve Tones Related Only to Each Other." In it, he broke with a system of tonal organization that had developed over hundreds of years and had become a hallmark of Western music.

 FORWARD : Arts & Letters
Schoenberg saw an opportunity in the increasingly prominent Kandinsky and his circle to exhibit his own searching visual self-portraits and "gazes" or "vision" pieces (on loan here in the main from the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna, which held an exhibition in 2000 that inspired the exhibit at the Jewish Museum).
The exhibition grows out of a legendary encounter between Schoenberg and the Russian-born painter Kandinsky (1866-1944) that began when Kandinsky and several of his fellow members of an artists' circle that preceded the Blue Rider group of Gaugin-inspired abstractionists attended a concert of Schoenberg's music on January 2, 1911, in Munich.
Kandinsky saw Schoenberg as providing a parallel key in music to his own efforts in art.

 A. Schoenberg and M. Reger: Some Parallels
Schoenberg was also influenced by Wagner during his early period, while composing his programmatic works; later, when he devised the 12-tone method, Schoenberg was more interested in Bach and aspired to achieve the same virtuosity in polyphonic texture.
Schoenberg had always been interested in the music of Reger and had admired many things in it….
Schoenberg was already a great admirer of Reger in the first decade of the 20th century.

Tribute of some length and importance was paid to Schoenberg on his fiftieth birthday in 1924.
rnold Schoenberg,* who died at his home in Los Angeles on 13 July at the age of seventy-six, stands out as unique among musicians of the twentieth century, problematical, even paradoxical.
The aesthetic value of his compositions and his ultimate position in musical history, only future generations (more receptive and less complacent than ours, perhaps) will be able to assess.

 ARNOLD SCHOENBERG: THE MINORITY OF THE "INCONCEIVABLE GOD"
Schoenberg´s assessment of the rights of those who believe "in conquered art, in conquered ideas"[16] was to a large extent determined by his understanding of the Romantic conception of genius and of the Jewish idea of Messianic election.
After abandoning his work on the oratorio Die Jacobsleiter [22], Schoenberg became profoundly concerned with the figure of Moses who was to be a constant source of religious and artistic inspiration from 1923 until his death in 1951.
Against this background, it is not surprising that the portion of the libretto for which Schoenberg composed the music, ends with Moses´ self-critical cry of despair as a consequence of his failure to articulate the thought that determines his mission:

 classical music - andante - the complete music for strings of arnold schoenberg
Though Schoenberg is writing in a basically Romantic idiom, which is presumably easier to digest than what comes later, the Quartet's playing of this music often projects a sense of cloudiness and interpretive neutrality.
A collection like this could be instrumental in deciding what one really thinks of Schoenberg and the role he's played in musical history — a role which has been debated ever since his death no less than when he was alive.
This 5-CD collection gives a cross-section of Arnold Schoenberg's work, ranging from the dissatisfied Romantic, chafing at the bit of late 19th-century harmony, to the grand old radical with the pained, somber gaze, facing ever forward to an endless Expressionist future.

 Arnold Schoenberg
This is ironic, in a way, because Schoenberg began writing such hard-to-take music after reaching a conclusion very similar to Pleasants' - that the European musical tradition was exhausted - that everything that could be said with conventional tonal music had been said, and that it was time to move on to something else.
As a result Schoenberg's compositions inspired catcalls, fist fights and even riots when they were first performed in his home town of Vienna.
When Schoenberg was rejected by the musical public of Vienna, he went to Berlin.

In 1933, shortly before his 60th birthday, Arnold Schoenberg, one of the most important composers in history, was forced to flee his native Europe due to the increasing Nazi terror.
However, a number of the works he wrote during his "American" period are quite different in flavor.
"A longing to return to the older style [of music] was always vigorous in me; and from time to time I had to yield to that urge," Schoenberg wrote in his 1948 essay One Always Returns.

 Atonality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most prominent school to compose in this manner was the Second Viennese School of Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern.
While music without a tonal center had been written previously, for example Franz Liszt's Bagatelle sans tonalité of 1885, it is with the 20th century that the term atonality began to be applied to pieces, particularly those written by Arnold Schönberg and The Second Viennese School.
Their music arose from what was described as the crisis of tonality in the late 19th century and early 20th century in classical music.

However I could not demand this of Brecht, for Brecht was in this respect loud, sharp and uncompromising; and I did not want Brecht to be loud, sharp and uncompromising to the sick man Schoenberg.
