Elisabeth Leonskaja:
Of the triumvirate of composers known as the Second Viennese School, Schoenberg wrote the most frequently for the piano. Alban Berg and Anton Webern were his most gifted pupils. Webern’s obsessive devotion to Schoenberg led him to adopt the twelve-note system even more rigorously than his mentor. Berg was more connected to the 19th century and always sounds the most Romantic of the three.
