A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 13, 2024.

some issues

There are some issues in the Twelve-tone_period section. The bit that reads:

{{Schoenberg criticized Igor Stravinsky's new neoclassical trend in the poem "Der neue Klassizismus" (in which he derogates neoclassicism, and obliquely refers to Stravinsky as "Der kleine Modernsky"), which he used as text for the third of his Drei Satiren, Op. 28.[66]}}

has an obvious issue in that the text of "Der neue Klassizismus", which was used as lyrics for opus 28 No.3 does *not* contain the text "der kleine Modernsky". The text to "Vielseitigkeit", used in opus 28 No.2 is the one that contains the "der kleine Modernsky" but.

You may check this in the opus 28 score itself:

https://ks15.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/1/16/IMSLP128405-PMLP251356-Schoenberg_-_3_Satiren_f%C3%BCr_Gemischten_chor,_Op._28.pdf

It does not help that the citation refers to a source that is not online, and cannot easily be checked. So I don't know if that is the source of the error.

I would also say that the bit "Igor Stravinsky's new neoclassical trend" is a bit handwavy - it would be a lot better if there would be an example of a work from the proper period that could be an example of the kind of music Schoenberg tried to mock.

Finally, the term "derogate" sound unnecessarily negative. Opus 28 is a collection of satires, something like "criticize" or "mock" or indeed, satirize would be more appropriate.

Re.: Pacific Palisades fire

The press release and various articles about the destruction of Belmont Music in the Pacific Palisades fire are a little confusingly written. How I read these is that the fire destroyed Belmont's physical catalog of scores and parts, not archival material; this appears to be confirmed by the banner on the publisher's website. It is possible that they may have been in possession of some original manuscripts at the time of the fire, but to my knowledge these are all kept at the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
