First sentence: It seems that the last twenty years of eclecticism in contemporary music may have finally undone what "Schoenberg's followers" have "overdone" for nearly half a century.
Description: Combines essays giving a current perspective on Schoenberg, with documents from three successive locales and stages of his career, and finally, an assembly of documents on the final eighteen years of his life which he spent in the United States.
