Apparently Jean Sibelius once said that Schoenberg's greatest work was "Berg".

[@ClassicalNerd]

Can't say I disagree!

[@segmentsAndCurves]

Sibelius really have some humour of his own.
Still, can't say I disagree!

Alban + Alban + Alban + Berg + Berg = 23
That´s why this number...

[@segmentsAndCurves]

2*Berg + 3*Alban= 23

I'm very glad this video has no dislikes! You're videos and their analysis of many composers is just fantastic and really well put together - Alban Berg is kinda like one of those composers who didn't write much music but was able to convey so many ideas, thoughts, musicality and even put some mathematics into his works! Great work :)

Walter Gropius? Founder of Bauhaus??

[@Bilmonis]

Yes

[@alexuturgaidze5722]

Scriabin!

[@segmentsAndCurves]

Agree.

[@joshsussman9432]

For a different opinion, from a listener who has been involved with Second Viennese music for 30 years: Schoenberg's music is far superior to Berg's but takes a lot more repetative listening to get to know well.

[@ghm1abla]

Prokofiev

[@shayanmardanbeigi2697]

Ur crazy for thinking berg’s violin concerto is the best all time

[@ClassicalNerd]

Crazy for having an opinion? 🤔
