Quick Summary

Moses und Aron is an opera by Austrian-American composer Arnold Schoenberg. Schoenberg worked on this opera between 1930 and 1932, and many consider it his greatest work. It is a large-scale opera with monumental choral and orchestral passages, and it was left incomplete at Schoenberg's death. The opera uses Schoenberg's 12-tone method, a compositional technique where each piece is based on a special series of 12 tones related only to each other.123
