Was moved to write by Hans comment below - over the years, my thinking on Schoenberg and his buddies has changed - when I was a student and then as a young professional, I used to think of that style of 12-tone music as very intellectual and cold - but now, I have realized that the key to having it sound right is to approach it and interpret it as a Romantic style, since that is the genesis of this genre of music. There are many more modern composers that I do think are excessively academic and largely devoid of emotional content, but Schoenberg and Berg are not among them, in my opinion.
All the best to you, worldwide,
Bob

For Schoenberg: you just need to play the written notes as exact as possible. Do you really enjoy Schoenberg ?
