Arnold Schoenberg (Composer, Arranger) - Short Biography. Arnold (Franz WaIter) Schoenberg (originally: Schönberg), was a great Austrian-born American composer whose new method of musical organization in 12 different tones related only to one another profoundly influenced the entire development of modern techniques of composition. Arnold Schoemberg studied at the Realschule in Vienna; learned to play the cello, and also became proficient on the violin. His father died when Schoenberg was 16; he took a job as a bank clerk to earn a living; an additional source of income was arranging popular songs and orchestrating operetta scores. Schoenberg's first original work was a group of 3 piano pieces, which he wrote in 1894; it was also about that time that he began to take lessons in counterpoint from Alexander Zernlinsky, whose sister he married in 1901. He also played cello in Zernlinsky's instrumental group, Polyhymnia. In 1901 Arnold Schoemberg moved to Berlin, where he joined E. von Wolzogen, F.
2) The Schoenberg Seminar | South African Music Archive Project. Trauneck mentioned in a letter to Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt that he had seen Arnold Schoenberg for the first time at a performance in Vienna of his , op. 11, in 1914. He made his personal acquaintance just before he began military service in 1916. Trauneck had left the Gymnasium in spring 1916 with a 'Not-Matura' (emergency matriculation). This was a certificate issued without a matriculation examination that enabled him to study further only if he agreed to volunteer for military service on behalf of his country.
In the same letter to Stuckenschmidt, he revealed that Schoenberg had offered him lessons without charging fees. After Trauneck's demobilization in summer 1918, he did not continue his law studies. Instead, on 1 October 1918, he registered, together with his wife Hilde Horner, for Schoenberg's composition class at the 'Schwarzwaldschule'. The seminar was advertised in 1917 in a circular letter and fifty-five students entered the course.

Arnold Schoenberg, Los Angeles, 1948 Arnold Schoenberg (German: [ˈaːʁnɔlt ˈʃøːnbɛʁk] ( ); 13 September 1874 – 13 July 1951) was an Austrian composer and painter, associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School. After his move to the United States in 1934, he altered the spelling of his surname from Schönberg to Schoenberg. Schoenberg's approach, both in terms of harmony and development, has been one of the most influential of 20th-century musical thought. Many European and American composers from at least three generations have consciously extended his thinking, whereas others have passionately reacted against it.
Schoenberg was also a painter, an important music theorist, and an influential teacher of composition; his students included Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Hanns Eisler, Egon Wellesz, and later John Cage, Lou Harrison, Earl Kim, Leon Kirchner, and other prominent musicians.
