Next Episode: Episode 6: "The Liberation of Tonality"
This week, we begin to explore the birth of atonality with a special focus on dodecaphonic (12-tone) serialism. Our discussion veers through thoughts on Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School, Boulez's "Schoenberg is Dead," and a final attempt at determining whether dodecaphonic and integral serialism were justified artistic developments.
