Arnold Schönberg is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Revolutionary composer who pioneered atonality and the twelve-tone technique.
Arnold Schoenberg was a revolutionary composer and theorist who moved music beyond traditional tonality and devised the twelve-tone technique, transforming twentieth-century composition and teaching pupils such as Berg and Webern. Born into a Jewish family in Vienna, he converted to Lutheranism as a young man but formally returned to Judaism in Paris in 1933 after fleeing Nazi Germany, and his later works engaged deeply with Jewish themes.
