Description
Arnold Schoenberg was a composer whose music was considered revolutionary in his time. Today, however, his works are rarely performed by leading orchestras and his name is often met with indifference. This interpretative account restores Schoenberg to his rightful place in the canon of 20th-century music, revealing him as one of the most influential composers and teachers of his era. The book sheds light on Schoenberg's complex character and his struggles against tradition, anti-Semitism, and criticism from those who saw his music as "degenerate". Schoenberg's compositions continue to have a profound impact on Western music, and this book argues that they must be confronted by anyone interested in the past, present, or future of classical music.
