Anton Webern :

Anton Webern (December 3, 1883 – September 15, 1945) was an Austrian
composer and conductor. He was a member of the Second Viennese School. As a
student and significant follower of Arnold Schoenberg, 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 technique later known as total serialism.
Biography Webern was born in Vienna, Austria, as Anton Friedrich Wilhelm
von Webern. He never used his middle names and dropped the von in 1918 as
directed by the Austrian government's reforms after World War I. After
spending much of his youth in Graz and Klagenfurt, Webern attended Vienna
University from 1902. There he studied musicology with Guido Adler, writing
his thesis on the Choralis Constantinus of Heinrich Isaac. This interest in
