  Obituary: Harold Schonberg | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited
The most important lesson to be drawn from the life of Harold Schonberg is that he was great not because he was right.
Schonberg's best writing arguably came after his 1980 retirement, during which he continued to contribute to the NYT and freelance for numerous other publications.
Schonberg pointed to problems in a performance, but stopped short of suggesting solutions, which are up to the performer.

Charles Munch belonged to that generation of conductors, who were born in the last decade of the 19th century and formed the group of grand old masters who had inherited the last breath of the romantic tradition of conducting.
Charles Munch was always aware of the significance of his calling, the one who breathes vibrant life into the passive notes of the score.

 Harold C. Schonberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schonberg was highly critical of Leonard Bernstein during the composer-conductor's eleven year tenure (1958-1969) as principal conductor of the New York Philharmonic.
Schonberg chided Bernstein in print, suggesting that he should have either backed out of the concert or imposed his own will on Gould, and called him "the Peter Pan of music".
After Bernstein's regular tenure at the New York Philharmonic ended, however, Schonberg seemed to mellow in his attitude toward him and actually began to praise his conducting, stating in his book The Glorious Ones that "with age, came less of a need to prove something", and that "there were moments of glory in his conceptions".

Schonberg writes with a great deal of humour and a dose of healthy scepticism as to some of the more abstruse utterings of the piano community.
Schonberg brings the whole canvas to light in a clear, fluent, refreshing and readable way and does not confuse the reader with esoteric mumbo-jumbo.
Schonberg differs from the ornaments of the technical language and goes to the heart of the music.

 The Schoenberg conference (unedited, unabridged)
The most striking aspect of this presentation was how necessary it was for Schoenberg to physically work with his row materials and the several devices he invented to be able to do this in the form of slide rules, card catalogues and information wheels (volvelles).
The second presenter of this panel was Walter Frisch, H. Harold Gumm/Harry and Albert von Tilzer Professor of Music at Columbia University.
Their presentation focused primarily on Schoenbergian influence on Charles Mingus, Eric Dophy, and Billy Strayhorn with a number of fascinating musical examples that were played to illustrate these influences.

 INKPOT#73 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Book Review - "The Lives of the Great Composers" (Norton)
Of course, all this contributes to the mass of this bulky volume, yet it is never a boring read because Harold C. Schonberg (b.1915) does not bother to start every chapter with the birth of the composer and work up from there.
Schonberg even manages to find in Bartók a person who shares his conviction in Liszt, quoting him hailing Liszt's "absolutely new imaginative concepts".
It is apparent that Schonberg gives credit to those composers who helped in music's progress in other ways than composing groundbreaking works like the "Eroica".

 USIA - Portrait of the USA, Contents
As Harold C. Schonberg writes in The Lives of the Great Composers, Copland "helped break the stranglehold of the German domination on American music." He studied in Paris, where he was encouraged to depart from tradition and indulge his interest in jazz (for more on jazz, see chapter 11).
Another American original was Charles Ives (1874-1954), who combined elements of popular classical music with harsh dissonance.
For example, Wieland and other novels by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) are energetic imitations of the Gothic novels then being written in England.

Intriguingly there are interpretations of two Charles Ives numbers on this album the first of which is the all too short 'The Cage' with some half spoken half sung lyrics in the finest jazz 'skat' tradition- think Hatfield and the North for a nearest 'rock' equivalent- seriously!
Harold Schonberg in 'The Lives of the Great Composers' (A must read!) expresses the opinion that 'So advanced was his (Ives') idiom, so convulsively dissonant and complicated, so full of unusual textures and devices, that hardly anybody could grasp its significance'.
Two by Charles Ives; "The Cage" and environmental protest song and "Serenity" both brought forth with the unique interpretation of Robert Urban talent and style.
