  Second Viennese School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Viennese School was a group of composers made up of Arnold Schoenberg and those who studied under him in early 20th century Vienna.
The principal members of the school, besides Schoenberg, were Alban Berg and Anton Webern, although there are lesser known composers who perhaps ought to be covered by the term, such as the Greek Nikolaos Skalkottas.
The 'First Viennese School', which is rarely referred to as such except in comparison to the Second, is generally taken to consist of Vienna-based composers working in the late 18th and early 19th century, particularly Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert.

 Atonality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most prominent school to compose in this manner was the Second Viennese School of Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern.
Their music arose from what was described as the crisis of tonality in the late 19th century and early 20th century in classical music.
The Second Viennese School, and particularly 12-tone composition, was taken by avant-garde composers in the 1950s to be the foundation of the New Music, and led to serialism and other forms of musical experimentation.

Statements by the Viennese School and others imply that atonal works were not intended to convey ideas through rational structure but through musical representations of perception, thought, and language, whose functioning was regarded as illogical at that time.
Part I positions the Viennese School within early twentieth-century Viennese culture and identifies its motivations for overturning the established musical order with a music that was supposedly untainted by convention.
Such performance was expected to transcend the performer's understanding, a fact explained with reference to performance practices of the Viennese School's day, to recent discussions about performance practice, and to the Viennese School's belief that its music was of the future.

One can talk of the Viennese violoncello school as an organic trend only symbolically since the Austrian capital was a haven for representatives of different national schools (such as the Czech) and the "teacher-pupil" links were not as distinct and consistent as with the Dresden school.
Nevertheless, the Viennese school occupies a prominent place in the history of the violoncello because of the works of the Viennese composers, the classical and later the romantic, as well as the flowering of the quartet connected with this city.
They were linked by their school's certain common features (both were representatives of the Dresden school and thus "grandchildren" of Grutzmacher), such as similar artistic tastes, the austerity of interpretation prompted by rejection of the virtuoso romantic line, an "academic" style of playing, and a heightened interest in teaching and compiling teaching aids and editions.

The architects for the Austrian schools program were selected through a design competition, Le said, which he said eliminates the need to enlighten clients who cling to old ways of approaching school architecture.
In Vienna, schools are limited to 500 students, and they are constructed with a wing corridor system to allow light into the building to create a feel of a "main street," the OWP/P architects report.
He noted that because the schools are treated as home-like environments, students and teachers often remove their shoes and wear slippers, instead.

 JNL 6: Hans Hadamowsky and the 'Oboeschule'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Hadamowsky "Oboeschule" (1973) is the first new Viennese oboe method in 150 years, the last having been written by Joseph Sellner, a friend of Beethoven, a respected composer, and the first oboe professor at the Vienna Conservatory (founded in 1817).
As Hadamowsky states the term "Viennese" is certainly misleading and does not refer to the limits of the instruments.
His students at the municipal school of music, the Akadamie of Vienna, requested the older method and convinced listeners, through their playing, of the value of retaining for artistic purposes the traditional Viennese sound.

And the unanointed were repelled by the atrociously overbearing behaviour of the guardians or doorkeepers of the school.

 Cramer, The Schoenberg Circle's Utopian Performance Practice
Although a few people who participated in the Viennese School's performances are still very much with us, I think it fair to say that if we want to bring back the practice we will have to reconstruct it.
In the Viennese School's practice, performers were to sublimate their own interpretive personalities in presenting a performance faithful to what was in the score, but at the same time the performances were to be lively, spontaneous, and often anything but literal readings of the score-expressive but not self-expressive on the part of the performer.
This belief led the Viennese School to bet on atonality, not knowing what the new musical logic would be like, not knowing which sorts of musical features would be found most expressive, not even knowing whether logic or emotion as we know it would exist under that higher truthfulness of the future.

 NYU Course: Music Literature--Book Abstract
He pointed out that there was no "research tradition" in the Viennese Classical School of the second half of the 18th century if comparing with scholarship in the Medieval and Renaissance.
This tradition began at the end of the 17th century,and under the reign of Charles fourth was the climax,declined with Maria Theresia's rule,and formulated again during the last quarter of the 18th century.
The typical of Viennese opera during the last third of the 18th century is the prevalence of opera buffa in Salieri's Viennese output.

This subproject is based on the thesis that the "Klanglichkeit" of music became one of the central categories of composition in Viennese modernity.
The fact that the category of "Klanglichkeit" raised interest as a musical dimension that had traditionally been marginalised in the modern European musical culture with respect to technical and theoretical aspects, also makes it a subject of culture studies.
A synthesis of possible resulting diagnoses shall finally formulate a theory of "Klanglichkeit" as an example of a theory of composition in Viennese modernity, determined by the material and socio-cultural circumstances.

 Thesis Proposal
As Jay Martien notes, Adorno had "an ‘atonal philosophy' deeply indebted to the compositional techniques of the Schönberg school." This relationship between the two men has the potential to be explored further - especially in terms of comparing their particular approaches to the music of that particular period.
As Subotnik illustrates in the introduction to Developing Variations, the most startling aspect of Adorno's work is not the connections he drew between the structure of music and socially determined meanings (though this in itself was quite unusual at that particular time), but that his works demonstrate such an explicit and blatant political viewpoint.
Secondly, as a musician and composer of the Second Viennese School, Adorno was a member, contributor, and a propagator of an avant-garde artistic movement.

This may explain why there was a `scientific' streak in the rational `coolness' of the Second Vienna School's twelve-tone music, why the development of psychoanalysis transcended the boundaries of science and culture, and why even today the iron core of Viennese modernism, the neo-positivism of the Vienna Circle, may be seen as a cultural phenomenon.
