Abstract	In this selection of Schoenberg's correspondence, edited by his pupil and friend, we can follow the development of Schoenberg's turbulent artistic career and at the same time come face to face with his personality. He was a complex man, and his letters (which cover the period 1909-1951) reflect the complexity of his character. He could be generous, aggressive, witty, sardonic, profound, courageous, charming, sympathetic and suspicious, and all these very different aspects of the man are on view in his letters. Schoenberg's music and his stature as a teacher--among his pupils were Alan Berg and Anton Weber (letters to both appear in this collection)--guarantee him a major place in the history of the arts in our time. Much of what he wrote in his letters, throws fresh light not only on his own ideals and achievements but on the whole period of the "modern movement" in the arts in the first half of the twentieth century, a period which certainly would not have taken the shape it did without his electrifying creative presence. In this English edition, the translation of which brilliantly preserves Schoenberg's idiosyncratic style, a new and hitherto unpublished group of his letters originally written in English has been added.
