OTD in Music History: Legendary 20th Century "classical" composer, theorist, and pedagogue Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951) dies at his home in Los Angeles. After being forced to retire from a professorship at UCLA, Schoenberg took a trip up to Santa Barbara in the summer of 1948 to teach and lecture for several weeks at the Music Academy of the West. In an interview that he granted to a local newspaper, Schoenberg reiterated his fervent belief in the need to "educate" the general listening audience in an effort to help them appreciate "new music." The journalist interviewing him noted that "[d]espite his 73 years of age, and his eminence as a composer… Schoenberg is far from [being] the ‘old fogey’ in his musical tastes.” Perhaps to underscore this point, the article was illustrated with a photograph of Schoenberg smiling radiantly beneath some palm trees at the MAofW (albeit while dressed up in a full suit and tie and with his hands planted firmly on his hips, just like an old fogey). The story of Schoenberg's death several years later is a sad one: Schoenberg's suffered from intense triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) and he had long feared that he would die during a year that was a multiple of 13 -- but on his 76th birthday, an astrologer wrote Schoenberg a note warning him that the upcoming year was a critical one, because "7 + 6 = 13." This stunned and depressed Schoenberg, because previously he had only been wary of multiples of 13 and he hadn't considered adding the digits of his own age together. He suffered a heart attack late in the evening of Friday, July 13th, after spending all day in bed in a state of panic. As his wife later recounted: "About a quarter to twelve, I looked at the clock and said to myself, ‘Another quarter of an hour and then the worst is over.’ Then the doctor called me... Arnold's throat rattled twice, his heart gave a powerful beat, and that was the end..." PICTURED: A copy of the photo that illustrated the article mentioned above, which Schoenberg signed and dated ("August 1948").

they could never put me in charge of 20th century post-romantic music because they'd make me listen to schoenberg and ask me to analyze and i'd be like "it sounds bad"

#atonal music my ass #it just sounds. not good. #what is music? not this #schoenberg #music

HI

I guess my question to you is what classical piece gives to you or makes the largest emotional response ?

I only ask because of the millions of times I have listened to Beethoven's Symphony #9(the whole thing)

had a huge response to it recently because of my mental issues that has happened to me in the past months :(

I guess I have grown a greater appreciation for Classical music and it's healing powers :)

Sorry for the way too much information ;) Have an excellent day :)

that's a tough question, what's given me emotional response has changed over the years.

Mahler - Symphony no. 8. Really any of Mahler's symphonies can go here, he's a very "emotional" composer. I only chose the 8th because of the amazing moments that happen across its runtime, and its melodies always tug at my heart

Schubert - Sonata in A Major D.664 mov.2 Andante. I also could have put in any Schubert piece. While Mahler is large and bombastic, Schubert is way more subtle. And when he's at his most delicate, it sounds like the sublimity that people gush over Mozart for. The slow movement of this sonata is short but pretty moving

Chopin - Prelude op.28 no.13. Posted about this one recently, but it's a prelude that I hadn't really thought about much listening through the set since high school. Only this past couple months did I really listen to it and feel mored by the atmosphere it creates

Schoenberg - Transfigured Night. The darkness of the strings moving around in murky harmonies eventually turns into shimmering stars.

Messiaen - Le banquet céleste. For organ, has a gorgeous meditative air to it

"Penso […] che l’armonia del nostro tempo non debba essere ricercata attraverso una via «geometrica», bensì attraverso una via rigorosamente antigeometrica, antilogica. Questa via è quella delle «dissonanze nell’arte», dunque anche nella pittura, come nella musica. E la dissonanza pittorica e musicale «di oggi» non è altro che la consonanza di «domani». […]"

Da una lettera di Kandinsky inviata a Schönberg il 18 gennaio del 1911

so i finally finished schoenberg’s gurre-lieder and y’all, what was in the water that made early 20th century german and austrian composers write crazy amazing operas and large-scale vocal/orchestral works

Aaron Wyanski - "SCHOENBERG: Drei Klavierst​ü​cke, Op. 11”

Aaron Wyanski has released a new work titled "SCHOENBERG: Drei Klavierst​ü​cke, Op. 11". This new release, which is a collection of performances from Schoenberg, ostands out because it’s an extremely experimental collection of ideas, sounds and genres, going for a very broad scope. In particular, the work explores the concept of atonality, and its many implication on the nature of music itself. 

Even when not familiar with Schoenberg’s work, the audience will recognize shades of jazz, alternative, avant-guard and so much more. It can be quite a tough musical task to blend all these different styles under one roof, but Aaron did an excellent job, creating a very organic and cohesive listening experience despite the extreme variety of sounds involved. Listeners who do enjoy artist, such as Mark Ribot, Tom Waits, David Bowie, or John Zorn will immediately connect with the free-form spirit of this new release. 

Simply put, this is adventurous music that takes chances and doesn’t play it safe, meaning that it brings a very eclectic listening experience to an audience who wants something more than just the regular song formats.

Check out this release on Bandcamp:

Which 20th century composers would you have been most fascinated to meet? Would you like Shostakovich or Schoenberg?

All of them!!! All of them. All of these dear Kinder, all of them. To teach them, speak with them, ach... Yes... Of course... All the great atonals and theoretical musicologists, musicians... All of them, I would expose to them my lost essay on harmony and atonality... I would love them all... Messiaen seems closer but Ach, Schoenberg and Berg, Webern... Prokofiev... Paart, Alma Deutscher, I would tell her to slow down... But these are contemporary. Anyways, yes! All which you suggest, for perhaps that music that does not entice me then I would change my view of if able to understand better the composer. But all of the atonals one! Atonality!!!
