[[Arnold Schönberg]] - also spelled Schoenberg - (September 13, 1874, [[Vienna]], [[Austria]] - July 13, 1951, [[Los Angeles]], USA) is name-checked on the cover of "[[Freak Out!]]" (1966) under the heading "These People Have Contributed Materially In Many Ways To Make Our Music What It Is. Please Do Not Hold It Against Them". He is also mentioned in "[[The Real Frank Zappa Book]]" (1989).  Composer, artist, music teacher. He was largely self-taught, and in his 20s lived by orchestrating operettas while composing such early works as the string sextet "Verklärte Nacht" (1899, "Transfigured Night"). His search for a personal musical style emerged in these works, which were not well received: his Chamber Symphony caused a riot at its first performance in 1907 through its abandonment of the traditional concept of tonality. He became known for his concept of "12-note" or "serial" music, used in most of his later works. At the end of World War I he taught in [[Vienna]] and [[Berlin]], until exiled by the Nazi government in 1933. He settled in [[California]] in 1934, and took US nationality in 1941. Started teaching at [[UCLA]] in 1936.
