Schoenberg and Beethoven
Some anonymous soul sent me a link to this well-reasoned article by Richard Dyer on the topic of Schoenberg. It is really an excellent assesment (even if you disagree) of the Viennese master's still-divisive work, hooked to a concert given by strict adherent James Levine (leading the Boston Symphony Orchestra). See what you think.

Methinks trying to link Charlie Parker and Schoenberg is a stretch. Coltrane perhaps, but not Parker. And Bach is simply out of the question.
I had an oportunity to hear some Webern a while back: Someone posted audio files on their blog - and it was actually quiite nice. I still don't think Schoenberg's music wil ever become standard rep, but hey, I'm wrong a lot.
