Schoenberg
He began writing romantic music with daring chromaticism, then moved to experiment with timbre, quartal harmony and atonality. He eventually developed his famous twelve-tone system (other composers did the same independently) which his student Alban Berg and Anton Webern mastered. Webern eventually became the leading influence on the modernists after World War II and this influence can naturally be traced back to Schönberg, making him one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Some famous pieces are Pelléas and Melisande, Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Pierrot Lunaire, Five Pieces for Orchestra and A Survivor from Warsaw.
