First sentence: From the perspective of the 1990s, two such well-known and predominant institutions as the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Second Viennese School require no introduction: the BBC is so fundamental a part of British contemporary life and culture, and the compositions and idioms of Schoenberg and his colleagues so essential to the twentieth-century development of Western art music that the influence of both today is self-evident.
