Schoenberg and Redemption presents a new way of understanding
Schoenberg's step into atonality in 1908. Reconsidering his
threshold and early atonal works, as well as his theoretical
writings and a range of previously unexplored archival documents,
Julie Brown argues that Schoenberg's revolutionary step was in part
a response to Wagner's negative charges concerning the Jewish
influence on German music. In 1898, and especially 1908,
Schoenberg's Jewish identity came into confrontation with his
commitment to Wagnerian modernism to provide an impetus to his
radical innovations. While acknowledging the broader
turn-of-the-century Viennese context, Brown draws special attention
to continuities between Schoenberg's work and that of Viennese
moral philosopher Otto Weininger, himself an ideological Wagnerian.
She also considers the afterlife of the composer's ideological
position when, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the concept of
redeeming German culture of its Jewish elements took a very
different turn.
