For me, the immediate predecessor always seemed to me to be to *Brahms*, not Wagner. Verkl�rte Nacht seems to me to follow straight on from late Brahms, and Schoenberg's extensions to tonality then follow from that point, into 12-tone tonality. Wagner doesn't seem to me to have much to do with it! -- David W.
