Frases de Arnold Schönberg
Arnold Schönberg
Fecha de nacimiento: 13. Septiembre 1874
Fecha de muerte: 13. Julio 1951
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.

„I see the work as a whole first. Then I compose the details.“
— Arnold Schoenberg
Context: I see the work as a whole first. Then I compose the details. In working out, I always lose something. This cannot be avoided. There is always some loss when we materialize. But there is compensating gain in vitality.
As quoted in an interview with José Rodriguez (c. 1936) in Schoenberg (1971) by Merle Armitage, p. 149
„Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value.“
— Arnold Schoenberg
Context: Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value. … Unqualified judgment can at most claim to decide the market-value — a value that can be in inverse proportion to the intrinsic value.
