Description

About the Book

A defence of the composer's duty to the text: not to entertain, not to soothe, but to translate meaning with precision and depth.

Book Synopsis

"If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art."

In this sharp, uncompromising address, he defends the composer's duty to the text: not to entertain, not to soothe, but to translate meaning with precision and depth. Music, he argues, must obey something higher than taste--something as exacting, and as rare, as truth itself.

About the Author

Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) was an Austrian composer, theorist, and painter who reshaped modern music from the ground up. As the inventor of the twelve-tone technique, he broke with tradition not for shock, but for necessity--seeking structure where tonality could no longer serve.
