Arnold Schoenberg’s Three Piano Pieces, performed by Boris Davidyuk.
About the composer…
Arnold Schoenberg, an Austrian composer, revolutionized 20th-century music with his innovative compositions and groundbreaking theories. Initially rooted in late-Romanticism, he ventured into atonality and pioneered the twelve-tone technique, profoundly influencing the trajectory of Western classical music. Schoenberg’s works exhibit emotional depth and intellectual rigor. Facing persecution during World War II, he emigrated to the United States, where he continued to compose, teach, and influence generations of musicians. His legacy endures through his radical approach to harmony, form, and expression, shaping the course of modern music and inspiring countless composers.
