Saul Lilienstein: Blame it on Wagner!
Coming in November! Wagner began stretching the tonal boundaries of music in Tristan und Isolde, and moved further towards harmonic ambiguity in the prelude to Act 3 of Parsifal. Schoenberg learned these lessons before creating atonal music; Berg followed, composing in his own unique voice.

Wagner began stretching the tonal boundaries of 19th Century music throughout Tristan und Isolde, and he moved further towards harmonic ambiguity
in the prelude to Act 3 of Parsifal. Schoenberg learned these lessons before creating atonal music. Alban Berg learned from both while discovering his own unique voice in Wozzeck, Lulu, and other compositions. Date to be determined, on Zoom.
