Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg[a] (13 September &#;&#; 13 July ) was an Austrian and American composer, music theorist, teacher and writer. He was among the first modernists who transformed the practice of harmony in 20th-century classical music, and a central element of his music was its use of motives as a means of coherence. He propounded concepts like developing variation, the emancipation of the dissonance, and the "unity of musical space".
Schoenberg's early works, like Verklärte Nacht (), represented a Brahmsian–Wagneria
