 Archives of American Mathematics Spotlight: The Isaac Jacob Schoenberg Papers
Schoenberg’s wife, Dolly, and a colleague donated the papers to the University of Texas at Austin in 1991.
Schoenberg corresponded with some of the foremost mathematicians of the twentieth century: Harald Bohr, Issai Schur, Alexander Ostrowski, Edmund Landau (his father-in-law), Paul Erdös, George Pólya, John R. Kline, and Emil Grosswald.
He was a guest lecturer at various institutions, wrote papers, continued to referee as he had throughout his career for the Journal of Approximation Theory, and, in the 1980s, entered the Madison city sculpture contest with a submission he created using a mathematical model, the drawings for which are in the collection.

 Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron
Schoenberg’s characterization of the principles is not new; what is unprecedented is the emphasis that his work places on the relationship between the two.
Schoenberg’s lyrics stress the chosenness: "We are his chosen people before all peoples." Since the plagues and the dealings with Pharaoh are not important for the relationships with which he is concerned, Schoenberg leaves these items out of the libretto, expecting us to know the biblical story and fill them in ourselves.
Schoenberg’s main point lies in the relationship between Moses and Aaron, and the question of which one of these two is better suited to leading the Jewish people to their ultimate goal.

 CAD | CAD School | CAD Software | CAD Drawings
CAD was first used to produce three-dimensional surface modeling and calculation for automobile and aircraft industries in the 1960s.
This was made possible by the mathematical calculations and work described by Isaac Jacob Schoenberg in the 1940s.
His work was supplemented by the findings of another brilliant mathematician named Roy Liming, who contributed so much to the understanding and application of polynomial curves and sculptured surface.

Schoenberg, an Austrian-born Jew, followed in the path of some of his compatriots in the arts and converted to Christianity, in his case at age twenty-four.
For Schoenberg, Moses is an active figure, more active than he appears in the Torah¹s telling of this early stage in his career.

 Moses at the Met   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
For despite Schoenberg’s efforts and intentions, the work is a dramatic, musical, and theological failure that testifies to the difficulties of creating religious art outside a religious community.
There is no record of Schoenberg as a Christian ever receiving communion or attending any church; as a Jew (either as a child or an adult) Schoenberg didn’t attended synagogue, never learned Hebrew, and made no attempt to keep a kosher home.
And while Schoenberg’s refusal to participate in the liturgical and communal life of either faith might tempt us to characterize his religious decisions as dilettantish, it would be grossly unfair to do so.

Schoenberg was born on September 13, 1874, in Vienna and died on July 13, 1951, in Brentwood, a suburb of Los Angeles.
Schoenberg had composed it at high speed and in a fever of inspiration (both normal conditions for his composing through‧out his life) while on holiday with his friend, mentor, and future brother‑in‑law, the composer and conductor Alexander von Zemlinsky.
What is remarkable is the sureness and power of Schoenberg’s long‑range harmonic strategy, his routes toward these crucial moments, the tensions he creates as he alternates between approach and withdrawal, his preference for setting his D-minor/D-major world into vivid relief by exploring distant harmonic areas in preference to close ones.

This is a performance that makes Schoenberg's Mahlerian heritage absolutely clear only he is so much more concentrated and focused in his delivery that the results for me are just shattering.
Musically by this time Schoenberg starts to also sound increasingly more and more like Brahms and the opening statement by the string quartet and piano has a theme vaguely reminiscent of the opening of the finale of the Brahms Opus 25 G minor piano quartet (the one Schoenberg transcribed for orchestra)!
