Frases de Arnold Schönberg

Arnold Schönberg fue un compositor, teórico musical y pintor austriaco de origen judío. Desde que emigró a los Estados Unidos, en 1933, adoptó la forma Arnold Schoenberg para escribir su nombre, y así es como suele aparecer en las publicaciones de idioma inglés.

Es reconocido como uno de los primeros compositores en adentrarse en la composición atonal, y especialmente por la creación de la técnica del dodecafonismo basada en series de doce notas, abriendo la puerta al posterior desarrollo del serialismo de la segunda mitad del s. XX. Además, fue el líder de la denominada Segunda Escuela de Viena.

“La adopción de mi método de composición con doce notas no facilita la composición: al contrario, la hace más difícil… Las restricciones impuestas a un compositor por la obligación de usar una sola serie para cada composición son tan rígidas que solo una fantasía que ha superado victosiosamente muchas dificultades puede superarlas. Este método no regala nada; al contrario, priva de muchas cosas.”
