I saw Arnold Schoenberg at a grocery store in Vienna yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

The era of modernism in music is the most interesting. First of all, by his search for fresh air in the grammatical and mathematical component of music. In keeping with the aesthetics of the philosophy of modernism, this music renounces tradition and strives for constant renewal. As an example, Schönberg himself with his dodecaphony, Stravinsky with the rejection of metrical division of rhythm, or Satie with minimalistic and functional music "for the elevator"...

I think Schoenberg belonged to the Romantic era after all. Atonality was a natural stage in the development of music.

"Schoenberg himself looked forward to a time when, as he said, grocers' boys would whistle serial music in their rounds."

I just listened to the Arditti String Quartet interpretation of his string quartets (https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/arditti-string-quartet-and-dawn-upshaw/arnold-schoenberg-2-streichquartette-i-iv/), but not sure if that's the best place to start. Glenn Gould's "Piano Music" could be good. Schoenberg's very own interpretation of "Pierrot Lunaire" also seems good to start with. And Verklärte Nacht.

String Quartet 1 was probably my first 'real' experience with Classical music. Never looked back again from then.

Not to flood this shoutbox with what I'm sure it's a very original and never-before-seen comment but it's "Schoenberg" - He changed his name to Schoenberg in "Deference to American practice". This was an official name change. There is no reason to have him as Schönberg. Still gonna keep it because it won't scrobble otherwise doe.

not just in deference to American practice but also in the context of fleeing Nazi persecution. really bizarre that last.fm forcibly re-tags him in user libraries with the umlaut now

Schoenberg himself chose to spell his name "Schoenberg" at some point of his life, quit your obnoxious "corrections"

Шенберг - это прежде всего философ (как и любой большой композитор), именно в этом ключе и следует его работы понимать
