About
Alban Berg was an Austrian composer of the Second Viennese School, known for developing atonal and twelve-tone compositional techniques alongside Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. His works, including the opera Wozzeck and Lulu, integrated expressionism with rigorous serial methods. Berg's writings on music theory and aesthetics significantly influenced twentieth-century classical composition and remain essential texts for understanding modernist music.
