Schoenberg's early work, Pelleas und Melisande, is celebrated for its lush strings and chromatic melodies, contrasting sharply with the atonal style he became famous for.
The New York Philharmonic's tribute to Schoenberg reveals how the composer’s early, late-Romantic pieces still face a divide from both audiences and critics, reflecting changing perceptions.
