 +===== String Quartet No. 2 =====
 +
 +Schoenberg's String Quartet No. 2 in F sharp minor, Op. 10 (1908) is widely regarded as one of the earliest examples of modern classical music... However, it did not receive a warm welcome. The majority of the audience and journalists were stunned. Although the first two movements are Romantic in style, soprano singer Marie Gutheil-Schoder mixes poetry penned by Stefan George with very powerful music in the third and fourth movements.[([[https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft52900620;chunk.id=0;doc.view=print|Publishing]])]
 +
 +===== Serialism =====
 +
 +His invention of serialism (the 12-tone composition system) in the 1920s was innovative. The notion is centered on organizing a "row" or "series" of the twelve notes on the chromatic scale in a precise way, and focuses around a more mathematical approach to music composition. The row is then played in a variety of directions, including inverted, reversed, and transposed. As a result, musical unity is produced in a highly logical manner.[([[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269973803_Serialism_and_Its_Contradictions|ResearchGate]])]
 +
 +===== Headline =====
 +
 +With the emergence of the National Socialist Party in Germany, his music was called "degenerate" as a Jewish artist. After being denied admission to the Prussian Academy by the Nazi political movement in 1933, he escaped to the United States. At this time, he began teaching at the Malkin Conservatory in Boston and New York.[([[https://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/arts/musDegen.htm|fcit]])]
 +
 +===== Konzert für Violoncello und Orchester =====
 +
 +At the request of Pablo Casals, he composes the Konzert für Violoncello und Orchester (D-Dur), in a free version of Georg Matthias Monn's Concerto for Harpsichord.[([[https://www.radioswissclassic.ch/fr/base-de-donnees-musicale/musicien/2542487a445abac00a04a7fb70941c3c7de7d/biography|Radio Swiss Classic]])]
 +
 +===== John Cage =====
 +

 +
 +===== University Of California =====
 +
 +Arnold Schoenberg was appointed professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1936 (he would be made professor emeritus in 1944) and relocated to "Brentwood Park, West Los Angeles, where he will live for the rest of his life." This year, he also "befriends" George Gershwin.[([[https://www.universaledition.com/arnold-schonberg-655|Universal Edition]])]
 +
 +===== World War =====
 +
 +In 1939, he spent most of his energy and effort attempting to move relatives and friends out of Europe in order to avoid the socialist party's genocide. The family of his son Georg spent the war in Germany.[([[https://forward.com/culture/430757/arnold-schoenberg-twelve-tone-music-holocaust-letters-in-america/|Forward]])]
 +
 +===== Citizen Of Vienna =====
 +
 +By 1949, his poor health had prevented him from coming to Vienna to celebrate his 75th birthday, for which he had been awarded "citizen of the City of Vienna."[([[https://www.aeiou.at/aeiou/musikkolleg/schoenberg/130_sb-gra-k.htm;internal&action=_setlanguage.action?LANGUAGE=en|aeiou]])]
 +
 +===== Israeli Academy of Music =====
