- Title
Twelve-tone composition: a dialogue between Schönberg and Leverkühn.
- Authors
Vega, Aina
- Abstract
Thomas Mann, a great Goethe's devotee, chose the figure of composer Arnold Schönberg to draw the personality of Adrian Leverkühn, the Faust of the Twentieth Century. The reception of the book by Schönberg was very controvertial owing to the fact that he felt that Mann was stealing from him the intellectual property of the “Twelve-tone-technique". In this article I am going to discuss how Mann, influenced by Theodor W. Adorno, understood Schönberg's music and which are the differences between what Schönberg composed and the fictional music of Adrian Leverkühn, Mann's hero, taking into account the dissertations of the main character and Serenus Zeitblom in the book about the method.
