After staying up the whole night, I managed to finish the term paper about Arnold Schoenberg, but I had to teach again in the morning. When I reached my student's house, she also just woke because the baby cried the whole night. We had a short conversation before the lesson and she told me that her memory deteriorated as she had more and more sleepless nights. We college students better sleep right and eat right from now on!
I'll just try to introduce Schoenberg in just a sentence. He (1874-1951) was Austrian composer who made a revolutionary development in music through the introduction of the twelve-tone method during the twentieth century with the Pierrot Lunaire and Suite for Piano as his most famous works.

"Whether one calls oneself conservative or revolutionary, whether one composers in a conventional or progressive manner, whether one tries to imitate old styles or is destined to express new ideas—one must be convinced of the infallibility of one's own fantasy and one must believe in one's own inspiration. The desire for a conscious control of the new means and forms will arise in every artist's mind; and he will wish to follow consciously the laws and rules that govern the forms he has conceived "as in a dream.""
Arnold Schoenberg (composer)
