great read! Schoenberg's music was revolutionary, in a way mirroring the movements and upheavals of this time period. personally I prefer creating a sense of rhythm and harmony, which is why Erik Satie's works (and pre-1950s jazz) are about as modern as I get. Notwithstanding their own musings, artists too are influenced by the time and place they live in.
Thank you! Yes, you’re right - though sometimes artists can capture the upheavals before they’re apparent. Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Debussy, Matisse, and T.S. Eliot were all making fairly distinct works even before the First World War.
Excellent review - well done!
Thank you, Robert!
