Compared with Webern, his fellow revolutionaries Schoenberg and Berg were vestigial romantics. They used Schoenberg's twelve-tone system to rework the old, large-scale forms of Wagner and Brahms. Webern used it to abolish those forms, along with the entire principle of elaboration and climax. He let his three-or four-note motives suggest their own, rather static structural implications through intricate counterpoint and variation-not development.

A few Bowery bums actually have money, but "are unable to stand the thought of spending it. If we were to find ourselves in another depression, this...
...Best Friend" (his first musical--based on "Androcles and the Lion") in a month. Today, Rubins is conscious of everything he's heard before. He says he doesn't want to reproduce other works. "When I hear even three notes that are a familiar figure, I try to rework them...
