About this title

Synopsis

Though nominally a Protestant from his official conversion in 1898 to his demonstrative return to Judaism in 1933, Schoenberg proudly retained his Jewish identity all his life and endured the inevitable consequences as the quintessentially Jewish composer of his time. Ringer's sympathetic and perceptive study throws new light on both the esthetic and political ramifications of Schoenberg's spiritual commitment in the tragic historical context of Central European Jewry's ultimate rise and destruction.
