Take a few minutes to listen, even if your usual reaction to Schönberg is to scroll past.

I'm no expert on Schönberg, the Second Viennese School, or atonal music. Nevertheless, I always enjoy listening to these six little pieces for the piano.

It's rather like visiting a foreign city, where I don't speak much of the language. Although I don't get as much out of my visit as a native of the city or a fluent speaker might, I still enjoy exploring and picking up what I can.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/feb/21/music-arnold-schoenberg-do-not-approach-with-caution-pina-napolitano

>> Essentially, Schoenberg’s music requires faith. It needs the listener to be free of prejudices against its meaningfulness or beauty. And it asks for more time than other music, and repeated listenings. After all, who is able to enjoy a painting by Picasso as quickly as one by Renoir, or Ulysses as rapidly as Great Expectations? <<
