Arnold Schönberg

13 Sep, 1874 in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria

Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg was a Jewish Austrian composer, music theorist, and painter. He was associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School. By 1938, with the rise of the Nazi Party, Schoenberg's works were labeled degenerate music, because he was... Jewish. He moved to the United States in 1934. (Wikipedia)
