Biography

The inventor of twelve-tone technique and the central figure of the Second Viennese School, Schoenberg's musical development moved from late Romantic chromaticism through free atonality to the systematic twelve-tone method. His Three Piano Pieces Op. 11 (1909) are the first freely atonal piano works in the repertoire; the Six Little Piano Pieces Op. 19 compress expression into miniatures of remarkable intensity; the Piano Suite Op. 25 (1923) was the first twelve-tone work he completed. His influence on 20th-century composition is second to none.
