A few words about that description: Webern did not "dissolve" vertical harmonies, actually just the opposite: the vertical dimension is in great balance with the horizontal; there IS a sense of development and climax in Webern's work and definately the 12-tone rows are NOT arbitary. Whoever wrote that text hasn't studied Webern enough. I can't elaborate this further in this medium, but anyone interested should look up texts from eg. RILM.
