Schönberg

Sarah is an amazing lecturer!

One of my favorite experiences at the Alps was getting to know everyone a little better. It was absolutely amazing to see how passionate Sarah was about music, and what an excellent professor she might be someday! Learning about Schönberg and his interesting life was really cool. The way he composes his music was also especially appealing to me, as he kind of jut uses math to make music; for someone with a math-y brain like me, that's really cool! However, that doesn't necessarily mean that I enjoyed his music that much (sorry). It gave me a feeling of anxiety, fear, and being uncomfortable, a sort of reflection of the feeling of unrest during the time period in which he released his music (which is probably why he was so popular). It also reminded of old horror flicks, which I really love!(but I am also terrified of) I think I will just stick to listening to composers like Claude Debussy (Claire de Lune is the best).
