Revision as of 17:48, 1 September 2002 by Camembert (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Second Viennese School is a somewhat loose term generally used to cover the composers who studied under Arnold Schoenberg in early 20th century Vienna as well as Schoenberg himself. Their music is characterised by the use of Schoenberg's twelve tone technique. The principal members of the school were Alban Berg, Anton Webern and Schoenberg, although there are lesser known composers who ought to be covered by the term, such as the Greek Nikolaos Skalkottas.
