Arnold Schoenberg, Wind Quintet Op. 26 iii. Etwas langsam Basel Ensemble

[ChiZ712]

wait is this tonal, it doesn't sound atonal to my ears?

all 40 minutes of Schoenberg's quintet may possibly feel a bit overlong in a concert situation, but I think the piece works very well as a kind of advanced ambient background music in the home while you're doing other stuff. I think of it as ambient music with teeth - not fluffy new agey stuff.
