"I never understood what I had done to them to make them so malicious, so angry, so malicious, so aggressive...", Schoenberg lamented..., as he began his journey of no return towards atonality.

A Few Simple Atonal Methods (That Don't Involve Serialism)
Well, maybe not quite Stockhausen-y things here, but definitely not the strict serialistic procedures of Schoenberg et al... Compositions methods, generally speaking, are as “simple” or “complex” as you choose to make them. If you want non-tonal methods of composing that don’t rely on a 12-tone row and its basic operations, I have a few ideas here you can play around with that other composer…

Good evening! Or good whatever time you read this :D
I asked my piano teacher if I could learn a composition of yours and he said no due to its difficulty. I’ve been playing piano for a little under 11 years but perhaps my musicianship isn’t as mature due to my age haha. I was wondering if you had any pieces on the more easier side? I can’t quite reach a 10th but I can always try!
Hope you have a lovely day :>
Good morning my dear pupil.
What was the piece that you proposed to your teacher? So that I have an idea of your level of virtuosity at this very moment.
I suppose you can tackle my Six Consolations, inspired by Lamartine, or the two much later and (a)tonally experimental En rève and Nuages gris. These require next to no technique, at least at a superficial glance, but consist of studies on colour and humour.
As to the timezone, I follow German/Roman time.
Them: Yeah, the Second Viennese school is way overrated. How can you connect with that kind of music, you know? Atonality was such a dead end, musicologically speaking. Without traditional harmony, there's no framework for the listener to emotionally connect with whatever's going on in any programmatic music and don't even get me started on serialism--
Me, buying my fifth recording of Wozzeck online as I blast through my third consecutive listenthrough of Lulu at truly unreasonable volumes: FUCK tonality
