The only thing wrong is that it's Rechtschreibreform.--no final letter
eeee.  Nor do I think Janos Gereben is wrong in his remark on Schoenberg.
Like him, I'm also bemused by Schoenbergian excesses., and, like him, don't
include the Gurrelieder in this category.  There's Schoenberg, and then
there's Schoenberg.
