Book Description
Schoenberg's twelve-tone method of composition has proved to be one of the most enduring and influential ideas in the history of music. Yet until now, little attention has been devoted to the evolution of his method and the refinement of his compositional technique. Drawing upon Schoenberg's papers, sketches, and manuscripts, as well as his scores, this book traces the development of his twelve-tone serial idea from its rudimentary beginnings in 1914 to the highly refined works of his mature period.

Approaching Schoenberg primarily from a listener's point of view, Shawn plunges into the details of some of Schoenberg's works while at the same time providing a broad overview of his involvements in music, painting and the history through which he lived.

Book Description
With the weakening of the tonal system at the end of the nineteenth century came experiments with new systems such as multitonality, polytonality, neomodality, and atonality. The outstanding technique in atonality was the development of the twelve-tone system which uses the twelve tones of the chromatic scale in a specific order designed by the composer with variations derived from the retrograde, inversion, retrograde inversion or transpotitions of the original form. The composer usually considered the originator of the twelve-tone technique is Arnold Schoenberg. The beginnings and subsequent development of the technique may be traced i nhis works. He reactivated the acquisitions of the music of the past, was brought to a gradual suspension of the tonal system and thus, to the new twelve-tone system, which, organized in his hands, became the most radical innovation of modern music. Two of this best known and most ardent pupils were Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Berg's works are usually considered a link between Schoenberg's work and the past while Webern's works show a concern with the future possibilities of the twelve-tone system.

Book Description
The noted music theorist presents a brilliant and sweeping study of Schoenberg’s compositions and his influence on the generations that followed. A pioneering composer and leader of the Second Viennese School, Arthur Schoenberg was one of the most important figures in twentieth-century classical music. In Schoenberg and His School, composer, conductor, and music theorist René Leibowitz offers an authoritative analysis of Schoenberg’s groundbreaking contributions to composition theory and Western polyphony. In addition to detailing his subject’s major works, Leibowitz also explores Schoenberg’s influence on the works of his two great disciples, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Leibowitz considers how the influences of all three men have, in turn, created new movements within contemporary music today.

Book Description
Fundamentals of Musical Composition represents the culmination of more than forty years in Schoenberg's life devoted to the teaching of musical principles to students and composers in Europe and America. For his classes he developed a manner of presentation in which 'every technical matter is discussed in a very fundamental way, so that at the same time it is both simple and thorough'. This book can be used for analysis as well as for composition. On the one hand, it has the practical objective of introducing students to the process of composing in a systematic way, from the smallest to the largest forms; on the other hand, the author analyses in thorough detail and with numerous illustrations those particular sections in the works of the masters which relate to the compositional problem under discussion.
