Role of Art Music

Description

After watching “Mondestrunken” from Pierrot Lunaire by Schoenberg write a reflection about the following statement:

“The music produced under those hothouse conditions has been heard by few and has had next to no social impact. It is the last hurrah of a historical bloc that lost its hegemonic grip on culture at the turn of the century.”

Do you agree with this statement?

Compare it with this statement from Arnold Schoenberg:

“I knew I had to fulfil a task: I had to express what was necessary to be expressed and I knew I had the duty of developing my ideas for the sake of progress in music, whether I liked it or not; but I also had to realize that the great majority of the public did not like it.”

Do you enjoy this music? Why or why not?
