	Arnold Schoenberg Biography - famous Arnold Schoenberg Classical collection and Arnold Schoenberg Music Reviews.
		Schoenberg's earlier compositions are post-romantic in character, followed by a period in which he developed his theories of atonality, music without a key or tonal centre.
		Schoenberg's most important opera is Moses und Aron, of which he completed only two of the three acts.
		In addition to four string quartets and a late string trio, Schoenberg's post-romantic Verklärte Nacht of 1899 is particularly noteworthy.

	Essentials of Music - Composers
		Schoenberg's development of the twelve-tone method of composition was a turning point in twentieth century music.
		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).

	Arnold Schoenberg - Music Downloads - Online
		Schoenberg was, amazingly, a self-taught musician, whose Harmonienlehre ("Theory of Harmony") is still studied for the breadth of its understanding of the deepest meaning of structure in music.
		For all its theoretical underpinning, Schoenberg's music is most often dramatic in a romantic way, at the same time leaping to the horizons of pitch in its melodies and, through fragmentation and "Klangfarbenmelodie" (sound-color-melody), creating an angular, "modern" sound in its rhythm and unique orchestration.
		Schoenberg's earlier and more romantic scores are Verklärte Nacht ("Transfigured Night") for string sextet or orchestra; Pelleas und Melisande (no relation to Debussy's work); and Gurrelieder, which is Mahleresque in texture; all are conceived on a sweeping scale of interior emotion.

	Schoenberg - MSN Encarta
		Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951), Austrian-born composer, creator of the twelve-tone system of musical composition, and one of the most influential composers of the 20th century.
		Schoenberg fell seriously ill in 1946, and at one point his heart stopped beating; this experience is reflected in his String Trio (1946), written after his recovery.
		Schoenberg occasionally returned to tonal composition, but in the majority of his works of the 1930s and '40s he attempted to synthesize the twelve-tone technique with the formal principles he had employed during his expressionist period.

		Arnold Schoenberg was born to an Ashkenazi Jewish family in the Leopoldstadt district (in earlier times a Jewish ghetto) in Vienna.

	Brain-Juice \| Biography of Arnold Schoenberg (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arnold Schoenberg was born on September 13, 1874, to a working-class Jewish family in Vienna, Austria.
		Schoenberg developed the idea of composition using "twelve tones related only to each other" (which in later years came to be called twelve-tone writing, dodecaphony, and finally serialism) in order to facilitate the use of extended atonal forms through a more subtle, flexible, and pervasive form of motivic unity.
		Schoenberg's twelve-tone paradigm was undoubtedly a supremely important contribution to music, and it is hard to overstate its importance to the course of composition in the last century.

	Atonality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was described by composer Ferruccio Busoni as the “exhaustion of the major-minor key system,” and by Schoenberg as the “inability of one tonal chord to assert dominance over all of the others.” The first phase is often described as "free atonality" or "free chromaticism" and involved the conscious attempt to avoid traditional diatonic harmony.
		Schoenberg was the major innovator of the system, but his student, Anton Webern, then began linking dynamics and tone color to the primary row as well, making the row not only of notes but other aspects of music as well.
		Schoenberg, whose music is generally used to define the term, was vehemently opposed to it, arguing that "atonal" meant "without tone." For some, the term continues to carry negative connotations.

		Arnold Schoenberg was grandfather of the lawyer Randol E. Schoenberg.
		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 suffered from triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number thirteen); it is said that the reason his late opera is called Moses and Aron, rather than Moses and Aaron (the correct spelling with two As) is because the latter spelling has thirteen letters in it.

	The Musical Times: Arnold Schoenberg 1874-1951
		Arnold Schoenberg was born in Vienna on 13 September 1874 into a family of Jewish faith.
		Schoenberg’s music has always shown this to be true, for it began with a post-Mahler, somewhat morbid romanticism, and thence developed through various intellectual strata to a height of remotely Alpine thought in purely musical terms.
		As his second wife Schoenberg married in 1923 the sister of the well-known violinist, Rudolf Kolisch; he is survived by a son and a daughter.

		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.
		Schoenberg was largely self-taught, taking lessons only with Alexander von Zemlinsky who was to become his first brother-in-law.
		It was during the absence of his wife that he composed "You lean against a silver-willow" (German: Du lehnest wider eine Silberweide), the first piece without any reference at all to a key.

	ARNOLD SCHOENBERG: THE MINORITY OF THE "INCONCEIVABLE GOD"
		For Arnold Schoenberg music is in its essence "the presentation of the musical thoughts of a music-poet, of a music-thinker."[9] Considering that "today one can be modern without being obliged to keep up to the best"[10], Schoenberg stressed the intellectual content of music and unequivocally subordinated to this content the manner of its expression.
		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.
		Schoenberg, the Jewish thinker with an inside knowledge of Christianity, was in a privileged position to deconstruct the basic tenet of the "logical" finitisation of God by dealing with the problem within the context of the foundational Jewish history.

	Arnold Schoenberg
		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.
		The name Schoenberg is inextricably linked in most people's minds with serialism and The Second Viennese School.
		They are "complex, free-wheeling elaborations of 18th-century source materials," Joseph Horowitz has written, "tonal yet reflecting...Schoenberg's 12-tone craftsmanship." Schoenberg's use of tonal materials in these works does not imply, however, that he had repudiated serialism or his revolutionary theoretical ideas; in them he merely transformed the triad's harmonic function and significance.

		Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951) was personally affected by Nazi policies of Kulturkampf and antisemitism.
		In the face of an annihilation that promised to wipe out both the individual and the culture whose essence the prayer embodied, the act of reciting the ancient creed was more than a demonstration of faith or submission.
		As Schoenberg recognized, and as the music to A Survivor from Warsaw forcefully asserts, to pray Sh'ma Yisrael under such circumstances was also an act of defiance.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Arnold Schoenberg
		For Schoenberg, twelve-tone composition was not a matter of law (the twelve tables) but of destiny (the twelve apostles).
		The logical conclusion to all this was Schoenberg’s: harmonic form ceases to function, and the diatonic scale is no longer a reference point.
		Schoenberg’s twelve is secular and arbitrary, and the number of steps in the chromatic scale is nothing more than the result of acoustics and of renaissance theorists.
