Anton Webern
Radical miniaturist — Second Viennese School
Schoenberg's most radical pupil. His entire output fits on three CDs — pieces of crystalline brevity where every note carries the weight of a symphony.
Key works
- Six Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 61909— Orchestral aphorisms of shattering intensity
- Symphony, Op. 211928— Twelve-tone palindrome — nine minutes
