 | | Arnold Franz Walter Schoenberg, (the anglicized form of Schönberg—Schoenberg changed the spelling officially when he became a U.S. citizen) (September 13, 1874 – July 13, 1951) was a composer, born in Vienna, Austria. |
 | | He is particularly remembered as one of the first composers to embrace atonal motivic development, and for his twelve tone technique of composition using tone rows. |
 | | Arnold Schoenberg was largely self-taught, taking lessons only with the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, who was to become his first brother-in-law. |
