Document Summary
Although schoenberg developed the new twelve-tone system, it was webern that influenced a new generation of composers after ww2. Schoenberg was a classicist, meaning that he was concerned with rediscovering the significance of tradition. I. e. he always remained faithful to traditional notions of what constitutes a piece of music, how it is organized and formulated. Schoenberg"s goal was not to alter musical composition at its fundamental level, but to use new methods to fulfill traditional goals and structures. The phrase new wine in old bottles characterizes this. The movement that webern started with serialism came to be associated with a group of young composers centred at the international summer courses for new music at darmstadt in. Webern hailed as the father of the new movement. The two principal composers of the darmstadt group were pierre boulez and karlheinz. Many of the ideas that were fostered at darmstadt spread throughout the world and stimulated composers everywhere.
