When I hear the adagio of Mahler's 10th symphony, or Schoenberg's "Book of
the Hanging Gardens", I call it a step. Onto a different path, perhaps,
but just a step.

Or try listening to Schoenberg's "Five pieces for Orchestra" and then Debussy's
"Jeux". I did once, by chance. I was struck more by the similarity than the
difference. (In fact, being a Debussy-lover from a way back, maybe this was
when I began to really appreciate Schoenberg.)

You knew I couldn't pass that up, didn't you?
