Arnold Schoenberg had enormous authority over the shape of music
ideas during the 20th century. While his early compositions are
written in the post-romantic style, Schoenberg later created and
composed music of atonality, with no key or tonal centre.
Schoenberg developed a style of composition consisting of the
twelve possible different semitones. Born in Vienna, Schoenberg
had his first considerable success in Berlin, but left Germany
after Hitler came to power. Schoenberg moved to the USA where he
continued his innovative activities. Schoenberg’s students
include Anton Webern and Alban Berg who, together with their
teacher, are recognized as the SecondVienneseSchool. More
