When Sound Became Revolution: How Music Shattered the Old World
Vienna, 1913. Elegant concertgoers in their finest attire suddenly erupt into fistfights. The cause? Not politics or scandal, but music-Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony. This wasn't mere artistic disagreement; it was warfare. The 20th century didn't just change music-it exploded it, rebuilt it, weaponized it, and ultimately transformed how we hear the world. What began as Wagner's overwhelming shadow evolved into jazz's democratic voice, survived dictators who murdered millions while adoring Beethoven, and ended with composers who made silence itself sing. This journey reveals something profound: music doesn't just reflect history-it embodies our deepest struggles between order and chaos, tradition and revolution, the beautiful and the unbearable.
