Alban Berg
Alban Maria Johannes Berg was an Austrian composer. He was a member of the
Second Viennese School with Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, and produced
compositions that combined Mahlerian Romanticism with a personal adaptation of
Schoenberg's more..
Alban Berg:"If...Berg departs so radically from tradition,
through his substitution of a symmetrical partitioning of the
octave for the asymmetrical partionings of the major/minor
system, he departs just as radically from the twelve-tone
tradition that is represented in the music of Schoenberg and
Webern, for whom the twelve-tone series was always an
integral structure that could be transposed only as a unit, and
for whom twelve-tone music always implied a constant and
equivalent circulation of the totality of pitch classes."

Alban Berg:"I think the origin of all this clamour for tonality is
not so much the need to sense a relationship to the tonic, as a
need for familiar chords: let us be frank and say "for the triad";
and I believe I have good reason to say that just so long as a
certain kind of music contains enough such triads, it causes no
offence, even if in other ways it most violently clashes with the
sacred laws of tonality."
