The Schoenberg comment reminds me of a piece by Aaron Copeland,
entitled, "In the Beginning" ... I'm sure most of you have heard it or
performed it at one time or another. Anyhoo, as I recall, the final
chord is marked "Fortitissimo e possible." Then he put in a crescendo!
I guess he wanted it loud? I even sang it under his baton, but as an
undergraduate minion, I didn't have the guts to ask him about it.

I can't remember, is it a Schoenberg quartet movement that opens with
the tempo instruction "beginning a little slower"?
