This book is a collection of essays, by the leading German
musicologist of our day, on one of the most controversial and
influential composers of our century: Arnold Schoenberg. Schoenberg
is considered here as a historical figure, as a thinker and
theoretician and as a composer whose works may be subjected to
technical analysis and/or examined in relation to the history of
ideas. Above all, he is considered in the context of the 'New
Music', the historical and cultural movement of the first two
decades of this century which embrace musicians such as Webern,
Schreker and Scriabin (all of whom are allotted individual essays),
as well as Schoenberg himself. In addition to historical and
analytical essays there are essays of a broader cultural-historical
and even sociological import which should interest all those
involved with twentieth-century music and ideas.
