And Schoenberg *didn't* transform the Wagnerian influence out of recognition?
If you follow his development you can see the transformation. If you start with a serial work, it is easy to miss the connection. . . .
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.
A very interesting point. One that I'm going to do a bit of thinking (and listening!) about....
