In Schoenberg and His School, composer, conductor, and music theorist René Leibowitz offers an authoritative analysis of Schoenberg's groundbreaking contributions to composition theory and Western polyphony.In addition to detailing his subject's major works, Leibowitz also explores Schoenberg's influence on the works of his two great disciples, Alban Berg and Anton Webern.
