Arnold Schoenberg, just as Karl Kraus and Charles Ives, knew and expressed how passionately dedicated he was to the society which, as he understood it, he could not stand, and which, as it understood him, could not stand him. His life and letters and prose and poetry and theory and composition demonstrate how he tried to distinguish himself in and from this society. Both. To draw both distinctions at once was his theme and subject matter, even though this meant courting blatant contradiction while dealing, apparently, with mere conflicts. |
