Re: Twelve tones' greatest hits

Ahh - memories of music school. We had all of these chain-smoking hippy professors who were convinced that Webern and Schoenberg represented the pinnacle of western music.

For the uninitiated - Webern, Schoenbern, and Berg called themselves the "New Vienna School". They were revolutionaries. They were doing really important stuff compared to those mediocre "Old Vienna School" composers - Beethoven, Mozart, and Brahms.

I spent an entire semester of my life in History 5, Theory 5, and Ear Training 5 listening to nothing but Arnold, Anton, and Alban. Ugghhh.
