Schoenberg is often viewed as an isolated composer who was
ill-at-ease in exile. In this book Kenneth H. Marcus shows that in
fact Schoenberg's connections to Hollywood ran deep, and most of
the composer's exile compositions had some connection to the
cultural and intellectual environment in which he found himself. He
was friends with numerous successful film industry figures,
including George Gershwin, Oscar Levant, David Raksin and Alfred
Newman, and each contributed to the composer's life and work in
different ways: helping him to obtain students, making recordings
of his music, and arranging commissions. While teaching at both the
University of Southern California and the University of California,
Los Angeles, Schoenberg was able to bridge two utterly different
worlds: the film industry and the academy. Marcus shows that
alongside Schoenberg's vital impact upon Southern California
Modernism through his pedagogy, compositions and texts, he also
taught students who became central to American musical modernism,
including John Cage and Lou Harrison.
