The importance of Schoenberg's musical legacy
Sachs writes passionately and accessibly about Schoenberg's radical ideas. And he also portrays him as a passionate Brahms lover. An enthusiastic player of Johann Straus' waltzes who, against his will, drew the ultimate consequence from the musical path that Wagner had taken with his ever-expanding harmonies. 'Someone had to do it', he said. And yet: the last word that Schoenberg spoke on his deathbed was 'harmony'.
