Musicologist Yuta Asai, assistant professor at Ochanomizu University, has published a new Schoenberg biography.
Arnold Schoenberg is one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century and the creator of a new musical language, the twelve-tone method. How did the self-taught genius learn, and what did he experience as a Jew persecuted by the Nazis? Yuta Asai's new biography turns the image of an "esoteric composer" on its head!
