“Music is not supposed to decorate, it is just supposed to be true. Wait patiently for an idea that comes immediately into consciousness as a rhythm, in the horizontal dimension. You will be surprised how much driving force such an inspirational idea has.” This is what Arnold Schönberg told him in a lesson, recounts his pupil Karl Linke, who later became a teacher and composer in Vienna. Linke also states: "What makes studying music with Schönberg so fascinating is this enormous accumulation of energy contained in every word he speaks. Nothing ever becomes routine, formulaic, or rigid. It is characteristic that Schönberg always walks back and forth when he develops something; because everything within him is in turmoil and motion. Lecturing for him always means developing, deflecting, making something fluid."

Fascinating insights into Arnold Schönberg's character and his way of teaching and thinking have also been provided by his other students, including Anton Webern and Alban Berg. Browse through these intriguing memories today, the anniversary of his death, on the website of the Arnold Schönberg Center. Arnold Schönberg died on 13 July 1951 at 11.45 pm in Los Angeles in the presence of his wife. His last word was "harmony".

ForScore hive mind:
Everything I send to ForScore now has page 6 of Shostakovich 5 stuck in the middle. I can’t move it or delete it. What’s going on?

Opera Naples Opera Under The Stars is an amazing experience. Full sized orchestra, so we do it as Puccini wrote it. Wonderful colleagues and great players. Maestro Ramón Tebar is as knowledgeable as ever. Yes, it was a bit humid, but it is always a pleasure.
