what does means a word anecdotal?

Thanks' so much. I've been collecting Schoenberg vinyl recordings for years. For the past year, I've been reading every English biography and music theory book I can get a hold of .....and afford....youch...some of my smallest volumes are setting me back $90-$110!!! Ah, to be an academic...I'd just "write it off".

What I really LOVE about this video the most is that IT IS IN ENGLISH. I've got to learn German in 2008. Things would be far easier.

It would be nice to identify some of the unfamiliar music played as background. I presume it is Schoenberg music of the 1990s. Most of us are unfamiliar with the pre-opus-number work.

This is really very good and a proper place to start the Schoenberg story. We get to see those friends with whom he first hooked up, like the truly significant Von Zemlinsky, who was the only real general music tutor Schoenberg ever had (he soon emerged as the "the teacher" himself). I especially appreciate the early photographs of Schoenberg (we are too much accustomed to the aging man in photographs). He stares out at a world, and we wonder what he thinks.
