Arnold Schoenberg’s Journey

List of contents

About the author

Allen Shawn, a composer, is on the faculty of Bennington College.

Summary

Proposing that Arnold Schoenberg has been more discussed than heard, more tolerated than loved, Allen Shawn puts aside ultimate judgments about Schoenberg’s place in music history to explore the composer’s fascinating world in a series of linked essays—“soundings”—that are both searching and wonderfully suggestive.
