No composer was more responsible for changes in the landscape of
twentieth-century music than Arnold Schoenberg (1874 1951) and no
other composer's music inspired a commensurate quantity and quality
of technical description in the second half of the twentieth
century. Yet there is still little understanding of the
correlations between Schoenberg's musical thought and larger
questions of cultural significance in and since his time: the
formalistic descriptions of music theory do not generally engage
larger questions in the history of ideas and scholars without
understanding of the formidable musical technique are ill-equipped
to understand the music with any profundity of thought.
Schoenberg's Musical Imagination is intended to connect
Schoenberg's music and critical writings to a larger world of
ideas. While most technical studies of Schoenberg's music are
limited to a single compositional period, this book traces changes
in his attitudes as a composer and their impact on his
ever-changing compositional style over the course of his remarkable
career.
