Arnold Schoenberg’s Jakobsleiter is a work that we looked at in class about his wrestle with humanity, religion, himself, and finding meaning. The music correlated with his store in a way that made it seem like a never-ending battle between him and these interesting theories and ideologies that he was battling with. The song was dark, deep, riveting, and really had no point, when it does end, it seems like it could continue or should have ceased before. Schoenberg eventually became religious before death after going through through many phases of atheism and betrayal.
