Episode notes
Arnold Schoenberg – The Liberator of Dissonance
Schoenberg shattered tonality’s frame and taught dissonance to live at home—evolving from late-Romantic glow (Verklärte Nacht) to expressionist speech-song (Pierrot lunaire) and the twelve-tone method that rewired the century. From Five Pieces for Orchestra and the Piano Suite to A Survivor from Warsaw, he forged a modern grammar of necessity, not ornament.
