hey people, whatever happened to just liking something for what it is and not picking at whether or not the composer is conforming ot this or that particular style. i think when a composer ristricts hisself/herself to one narrow view they diminish their true quality and leave put so many great possibilities. the same can be said for listening to music. don't knock it 'til you really give it a chance.
im currently writing an essay at uni about his 12 tone technique and in short terms he broke the rules and devised a system in composing music that was not in modern or off its times functional tonality but worked. this method of composing is not mainly for pleasure but for the way it makes you feel. i personally think it only works in filmes
@rossignolmusic I love Schoenberg's music and play these often, but I understand why people have difficulty listening to it. He was revolutionary, and revolutions are not for the faint-of-heart. In an interview with Uchida on her performance of Schoenberg Concerto, the interviewer asks "Can you imagine that quite a lot of people still have difficulty listening to his music?" Her reply, "Of course you would!" The harmonic series and Western tonality are not so easily trifled with.
13 dislikes. Even today, people don't get Schoebeng. What a shame.

I just can't understand it, if you get what I mean. I appreciate its brilliance, but I don't feel engaged by it.

@Fuglebolle in that opinion's defense, this was with an early form of the 12 tone stuff.
