Arnold Schoenberg: Cartas
Este libro recoge las cartas más decisivas y determinantes, de las 3.000 que escribió Schoenberg: un testimonio de la importancia histórica del hombre y el músico, iniciador de la técnica dodecafónica y con ella de un cambio radical en el estilo de componer. Algunos de sus corresponsales fueron: Richard Dehmel, Thomas Mann, Alban Berg, Anton Hauer, Pablo Casals, Wasily Kandinsky y Oskar Kokoschska. Desde la emigración de Schoenberg a Estados Unidos, la correspondencia adquiere un profundo sentido la estética y la ciencia musicales, así como las ideas conceptuales y religiosas. La selección que recoge este libro fue realizada por Erwin Stein, quien como alumno y posteriormente amigo de Schoenberg, era un verdadero experto en sus ideas y propósitos.

About the author
Arnold Schoenberg
449 books58 followersNoted Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg abandoned tradition and developed the twelve-tone system for music.
Associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, he led the second Viennese school. He used the spelling Schönberg until his move to the United States in 1934, whereupon he altered it to Schoenberg "in deference to American practice."
His approach in terms of harmony developed among the major landmarks of 20th-century thought; at least three generations in the Europeans and Americans consciously extended his thinking or in some cases passionately reacted in opposition. During the rise of the Nazi party, people labeled jazz as degenerate art.
People widely knew Schoenberg early in his career for his success in simultaneously extending the opposed German romantic styles of Johannes Brahms and Richard Wagner. Later, his name came to personify pioneering innovations, the most polemical feature of 20th-century art. In the 1920s, the technique, a widely influential method of Schoenberg, manipulated an ordered series of all in the chromatic scale. He also coined the term variation, and this first modern embraced ways of motifs without resorting to the dominance of a centralized melodic idea.
Schoenberg, an important theorist, also painted and influentially taught his students, who included Alban Berg, Anton Friedrich Wilheim von Webern, Hanns Eisler, Egon Wellesz, and later John Milton Cage, Lou Harrison, Earl Kim, and many other prominent. Avant-garde thought throughout the 20th century echoes many of practices, including the formalization of method and his habit of openly inviting audiences to think analytically. His crucial, often polemical views of history and aesthetics influenced many significant critics, including Theodor Adorno, Charles Rosen, and Carl Dahlhaus,of the 20th century. His thought also considerably influenced the pianists Rudolf Serkin, Artur Schnabel, Eduard Steuermann, and later Glenn Gould.
