Anton Webern

Anton Webern (December 3, 1883 – September 15, 1945) was an Austrian composer. He was a member of the Second Viennese School. As a student and significant follower of Arnold Schönberg, he became one of the best-known proponents of the twelve-tone technique; in addition, his innovations regarding schematic organization of pitch, rhythm and dynamics were formative in the musical style later known as serialism.
