  • 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

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

  • I would totally hit that.

  • @xgianpatrick Ha, culture...the last frontière!

  • @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.

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

  • @MitellProductions and I can't sit here and listen to you try and compare this song with a true romanticist song by Brahms, Chopin or Beethoven, they're incredibly different composers with incredibly different styles when compared to Schoenberg

  • @alanjknig Nice copy/paste there. Beethoven was a crucial figure that helped the transition between classical and romanticism, so he was both. Schoenberg was a similar figure, in the sense that he helped transition from the romanticist period to the modern period (developing the 12 tone structure that was adopted by many modern composers). His style of music may have borrowed some fundamentals of romanticism, but he altered it with his 12 tone structure to create something incredibly different.

  • On this page is the violin concerto. Listen to it. Isn't it Romantic, if atonal?
