 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Obituaries / Arthur Berger, meticulous composer, lively critic
Berger's "Ideas of Order" in 1952, and he produced a few other orchestral works, but his primary interest as a composer was in chamber music and in music for the piano, an instrument he played with visceral involvement, directed by a composer's informed ear.
Berger in 1945, said yesterday, "He leaves behind a legacy of very fine compositions that have been undervalued, I think; I know I did [undervalue them], but when I conducted a chamber piece of his at Brandeis a while back, I found the music full of a private drama that was very convincing."
Berger had the aspect of a court jester, empowered to say whatever was on his mind.

 Guardian | Arthur Berger
Arthur Berger, who has died aged 91, was well known in his native America as a composer, teacher and music critic, but was better known in Britain as a writer on music, particularly on the academic, musicological side.
Born in the Bronx, New York, of Russian-Polish parents, Berger studied composition at New York University, graduating in 1934, and at the Longy School in Cambridge, Massachusetts (1935-37).
As a composer, Berger is often said to have moved from the typical post-Stravinskian neoclassicism of nearly all Boulanger's pupils to a kind of neo-Webernian serialism at almost precisely the moment that he began to interest himself in theory and analysis.

 Arthur Berger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 The New York Review of Books: GRIFFES DISHARMONY
Berger includes this composition among others that "seem to have been made to profit from a sudden demand for his work after the composer had had some success with Pleasure Dome." But the Macleod opus was not composed after the success of Pleasure-Dome.
Berger's assertion of a "sudden demand" for Griffes's music after the success of Kubla is pure fable: in the few months left to him, Griffes received not a single commission or request to compose anything new.
Berger, however, contends that in serial terms the F in question could be interpolated into a scale that would consist of two congruent tetrachords.

 La Folia -- Remembering Arthur Berger
Berger was born in 1912, the same year as John Cage.
Arthur always delivered blunt verdicts: “This is good,” or more frequently, “I don’t understand what you’re doing here.” While he recognized that I was using a system — we never discussed choosing pitches — he always preferred to discuss how music progressed through time, how a gesture might sound, or how one phrase balanced another.

Their impact on the music and thought of their respective eras is similar.
