The conversation runs the gamut from the inner workings of the 12-tone method that Schoenberg created, the many celebrities who were friends of the family, to the toys and games the composer created to entertain and teach his children, including Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This interview was conducted in anticipation of 45th Parallel&#8217;s October 22, 2024 concert featuring chamber arrangements by Arnold Schoenberg of music by Gustav Mahler.
