Born in 1874, Schoenberg's early works bore the hallmarks of late Romanticism, showcasing his masterful command of tonality. Pieces alike the String Quartet in D Major and Gurrelieder, brim with lush harmonies and passionate melodies, hinting at the brilliance to come. Works like the Chamber Symphony No. 1 and Pierrot Lunaire replaced familiar chords with jarring dissonances, unsettling but undeniably expressive. These pieces were met with both confusion and outrage, marking the birth of a musical revolution. The Piano Concerto, Op. 36 , and Violin Concerto stand as testaments to the elegance and expressive potential of dodecaphony.
