Have you ever tried to compose music?

Are you suggesting that there is no thought in either the creation of, or
listening to tonal music?

I don't understand your statement.  Are you suggesting that Schoenberg gave
more thought to his composing than Beethoven did? Or are you suggesting
that you need to leave your brain at home when attending a concert of
Beethoven's music, and bring it along if you are listening to Schoenberg?
