Yet another piece on Schoenberg

Music Lesson

A Guardian piece sent in by YS reminded me of someone on the opposite end of the spectrum -- someone who finds listening to Mozart absolute torture and reaches out to Boulez and Birtwistle for relief. Norman Lebrecht has been described as a "sloppy but entertaining British muckraker" and his musical chops are quite questionable at least judging by his columns, but the article is "spot on" in its description of listening to Schoenberg closely for the first time.
