And Schoenberg *didn't* transform the Wagnerian influence out of

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.
Wagner doesn't seem to me to have much to do with it!
Dika Newlin's historic book on the subject, I think, gets the
progression right with her title: _Bruckner, Mahler, Schoenberg_.
