Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
Bio
Arnold Schoenberg was born in a ghetto in Vienna. His father was a Hungarian Jew. He had limited training as a child and quickly gained the attention of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler. Mahler in particular took the young composer under his wing. His ideas gave birth to atonality, the twelve-tone technique, and are the backbone of 20th-century music theory. He had a massive impact on the following generations with a long list of prestigious students including Berg, Cage, Gerhard, and others.
