Musical Transformations
We often associate Arnold Schoenberg with crunchy, angular, atonal music. Music that's more for the head than the heart. But Schoenberg had a heart, after all. A heart with a surprising soft spot for the music of Johann Strauss, Jr., the Waltz King. In today's show, a loving arrangement of Strauss' Emperor Waltz, by Arnold Schoenberg. Plus, transformations of music by Arcangelo Corelli and the British rock band Radiohead.
