100 years ago, Schönberg wrote to his friend Zemlinsky: "Dear Alex, do you still remember the question you asked me recently about the 12-tone composition technique? This is how the first movement of my suite begins: 4 six-part chords, I-IV-V-I. - Ouverture." Who gets Schönberg's subtle humour?

Thomas Mann was born 150 years ago today. His relationship with Arnold Schönberg was later perceived primarily through the Doctor Faustus controversy. However, we should not forget that the two had been in good personal contact for a long time and also met regularly in Los Angeles.

Random objects from the archive #39 A drawing booklet from Schönberg's estate. The small pamphlet was published around 1920. Schönberg occasionally took pencil in hand at that time, among other things to draw some caricatures. However, it is questionable whether he used the instructions to do so.
