Both Chamber Symphonies are unsung masterpieces of the 20th Century. While both are nominally tonal, the latter was my entry point to truly listening to and understanding modern classical.
Agreed, both are wonderful pieces and a great start on a journey into music of the 20 century!
Excellent summary of Schoenberg and his must, which was, to quote Shakespeare, “something rich and strange.”
Thank you! An excellent reference in the Shakespeare quote.
Thanks so much for this. It seems that most commentary on Schoenberg is that his music is mathematical and unexpressive. On the other hand you have academics talking about him in strictly abstract terms and how influential it is for composers, but not listeners. It's good to hear someone like you use the word "beautiful" in association with his music, which is the appropriate sentiment.
Of course, there’s the famous anecdote of the Hollywood executive who called Schoenberg into his office, looking to get him to score a move, and cajoled him by saying he had heard Verklärte Nacht on the radio, and thought it was pretty. Schoenberg protested, “I do *NOT* write _pretty_ music!”
