This book examines the origin, content, and development of the musical thought of Heinrich Schenker and Arnold Schoenberg. One of the premises is that Schenker's and Schoenberg's inner musical lives are inseparable from their inner spiritual lives. Curiously, Schenker and Schoenberg start out in much the same musical-spiritual place, yet musically they split while spiritually they grow closer. The reception of Schenker's and Schoenberg's work has sidestepped this paradox of commonality and conflict, instead choosing to universalize and amplify their conflict. Bringing to light a trove of unpublished material, Arndt argues that Schenker's and Schoenberg's conflict is a reflection of tensions within their musical and spiritual ideas. They share a particular conception of the tone as an ideal sound realized in the spiritual eye of the genius. The tensions inherent in this largely psychological and material notion of the tone and this largely metaphysical notion of the genius shape both their musical divergence on the logical (technical) level in theory and composition, including their advocacy of the Ursatz versus twelvetone composition, and their spiritual convergence, including their embrace of Judaism. These findings shed new light on the musical and philosophical worlds of Schenker and Schoenberg and on the profound artistic and spiritual questions with which they grapple.

READ WHAT ACCLAIMED PHYSICIANS SAY ABOUT BUILDING YOUR AESTHETIC PRACTICE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA...

"Social media is the great equalizer that brings marketing tools to independent physicians that previously only large groups, hospitals, and healthcare systems could afford. This book, which teaches practicing physicians how to use and master social media marketing techniques, is an important addition to our armamentarium. I recommend this book without reservation to all physicians who want to feel part of the 21st century. My only complaint is that, had it come out earlier in my career, I would have saved significant amounts of time and money."

I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to harness the power of social media and Web 2.0 to develop an aesthetic practice."

James M. Pearson, MD, FACS Board Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Director, Pearson Facial Plastic Surgery, Beverly Hills, California

"Mr. Arndt's most recent book is a physician entrepreneur's roadmap to success. As Healthcare Practitioners who provide service to a media saavy public we are now obligated to increase the visibility of our unique skills or risk being left behind. The greatest benefit of all, is that excellent marketing is now affordable if we harness the power of the Internet correctly. I used Matt's 5 New Media strategies to increase my visibility and began implementing them immediately. I encourage other physicians seeking to expand their patient outreach to do the same."
