Question
A composer from this city wrote five orchestral pieces based on postcards from Peter Altenberg, but only two were performed at its premiere before the audience rioted. Alexander Zemlinsky mainly worked in this city, where he taught a composer who wrote a piece for the unusual ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. The Paris riots over Rite of Spring were prefigured by riots at a performance in this city called the (*) Skandalkonzert. A composer from this city popularized the sing-speaking technique Sprechstimme (“SPREK-shtim-muh”) in pieces like one featuring a monologue by a commedia dell’arte character titled Pierrot lunaire (“p’yair-OH loo-NAIR”). For 10 points, give this city that names a musical “School” where twelve-tone composition was pioneered by composers like Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg ■END■
