ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874–1951)
• Arnold Schoenberg was born on September 13, 1874 in a working-class
suburb of Vienna, Austria. He taught himself music theory but took
lessons in counterpoint. His works were greatly influenced by the
German composer Richard Wagner as evident in his symphonic poem
Pelleas et Melisande, Op. 5 (1903), a counterpoint of Debussy's opera of
the same title.
• His works include the following: • Verklarte Nacht • Three Pieces for
Piano, op. 11 • Pierrot Lunaire • Violin Concerto • Skandalkonzert, a
concert of the Wiener Konzertverein.
• Although full of melodic and lyrical interest, his music was also extremely
complex, creating heavy demands on the listener. He experienced
Triskaidekaphobia (fear of number 13). Schoenberg died on July 13, 1951
in Los Angeles, California, the USA, where he had settled since 1934

jazz.
• At 25, Gershwin wrote what is arguably his most famous work:
Rhapsody in Blue.
• Wrote more than 500 songs.
