Episode 59: Schoenberg and the Coolest Terms in Music
2022/01/14
2022 marks the first year that the music of Arnold Schoenberg has entered the public domain. What the heck does that mean? Is it a good thing? So many things for you to decide.
The examples used within this episode are AWESOME, and conducted by Schoenberg himself! Because we are THAT FAR ALONG in history and all just getting older. You can find the complete recording here:

Any other musical examples you hear that are designed to help explain a concept were simply recorded while Casey dinked around in her studio.
