One of Schoenberg's many self-portraits (Arnold Schoenberg Center, Vienna, Austria)
Musical rebel Arnold Schoenberg rattled the compositional world with his theory (and practice) of 12-tone music, often reveling in the intricacies of smaller mediums — which showcased his talent for creating complexity out of simple means. We mark the 134th anniversary of his birth with an eclectic survey of those smaller works, including the Chamber Symphony No. 1, one of his "Pieces for Piano," and the second String Quartet.
