The Cambridge Companion to Schoenberg by Jennifer Shaw
Arnold Schoenberg is one of the most important and controversial figures in twentieth-century music. This Companion presents engaging essays on Schoenberg's central works, writings, and ideas over his long life in Vienna, Berlin, and Los Angeles, in the context of his interactions with contemporary artistic, social, and cultural developments.
'… there are … two core chapters, both by Richard Kurth, which fruitfully align (with no attempt at spurious integration) the central aesthetic theme of modernism with fundamental technical topics' Musical Times
'[This] volume is expertly edited, the chronology, bibliography, footnotes, and index are exemplary, the music examples and tables are irreproachable, and the nineteen individual contributions develop into a coherent book in content, style, and technical presentation. The authors and editors of [this] Schoenberg volume maintain the high standards of the Cambridge Companion series.' Music and Letters
