[Schoenberg's Piano Pieces] Atonal works by the founder of the twelve-tone technique

Arnold Schoenberg, an Austrian composer who represents contemporary music that pursued atonality—music without a key.

He is also the founder of the twelve-tone technique, which treats all notes within an octave equally.

His music is known for being extremely complex and is not performed very often, yet it possesses a mysterious allure that draws listeners into its unique world almost unconsciously.

In this article, we will carefully select and introduce pieces by Schoenberg that are either solo piano works or feature the piano in a prominent role!
