Row, Row, Row That Tone
Many people are frightened by the name Schoenberg, the father of 12-tone composition, but, as Alan Gilbert points out, schoen means beautiful in German. Take the opening tone row of Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto (above). Michael Steinberg, a former Philharmonic Program Annotator, described this ordering of the 12 tones of the chromatic scale as “the piano playing alone a lyric melody in a gentle waltz tempo.”
Discover the beauty in Schoenberg when the magnificent Emanuel Ax joins Alan Gilbert and the Philharmonic October 4–6. Or read more here.

Manuscript of the first page from Gustav Mahler’s Eighth Symphony.
I love how the instrumental section looks so small. Then there’s just four entire sections for the fucking choirs.
I want manuscript paper this big… like for real though

This symphony is my life. This sounds like god.
