Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
5/5. The Emigre
Donald Macleod examines Schoenberg's final years, having fled from Berlin to the USA in 1933 with his family. While the composer spent his time in Hollywood, with tennis partners such as Charlie Chaplin and George Gershwin, he remained an outsider, never fully embraced by the American musical establishment.
