The first of these two quotations from Arnold Schoenberg's writing is
self explanatory:

"My works are 12-tone *compositions*, not *12-tone* compositions"

Having been listening to a lot of Richard Strauss lately, I am a bit
perplexed by the second:

"I was never *revolutionary*.  The *only revolutionary* in our time was
Strauss."

I know that Schoenberg admired Strauss and that the latter supported
Schoenberg, though he was befuddled by the development (pun intended)
of his music.
