If so why am I so deeply moved by so many works by Schoenberg, Webern,
Berg, Berio, Boulez - and I would say 9 times out of 10 too.  One day
people will discover that works like the Webern 6 Pieces Op. 6 have such
emotional intensity they will be complaining about the gross emotional
excesses of these composers.
