Tom illustrates why Schoenberg felt such a strong lineage from Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Bach. ‘there is a possibility to learn something of my technical achievements. But I think it is even better to go back to those men from whom I learned them: I mean, to Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Bach. I can really, you can really contend that I owe very, very much to Mozart; and if one studies, for instance, the way in which I write for string quartet, then one cannot deny that I have learned this directly from Mozart. And I am proud of it!’ - Arnold Schoenberg 1949 Archive audio and photos with kind permission of Arnold Schönberg Center, Wien
