Arnold Schoenberg or
Schönberg (; 13 September 187413 July 1951) was an Austrian composer and painter. He was associated with the
expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the
Second Viennese School. With the rise of the
Nazi Party, by 1938 Schoenberg's works were labelled as
degenerate music because he was Jewish ; he moved to the United States in 1934.
