Extract

Schoenberg's ‘atonal’ (i.e. nontonal, pre-serial) music continues to offer stubborn resistance to analysis. The co-existence within the oeuvre of widely diverging, even conflicting, ‘linguistic’ directions has resulted in a theoretical literature inclined to illuminate the individual work or specific technical feature rather than to lay the foundations for useful analytical generalizations.
