Alban Berg (oct 9, 1885 – jun 3, 1935)

Description:

A student of Schoenberg
Adopted Schoenberg’s atonal – and later, 12-tone – methods, but achieved greater popular success.
“His secret lay in infusing his post-tonal idiom not only with the forms and procedures of tonal music, as Schoenberg had done, but also with its expressive gestures, characteristic styles, and other elements that quickly conveyed meanings and feelings to his hearers” (A History of Western Music)
