You think Schoenberg, whatever he might have said, didn't have some sense of being historically driven to serialism as a way out of what he saw as compositional dead ends?
Oh, jeez, yeah, Testimonies is not defensible at all at this time. I will take a look at your article. His mannerisms got me after the first couple of hours. I believe they are there for the tape audience more than the live audience. He is rehearsing for the recordings. I am also annoyed that he never left room for or welcomed questions during or after the lectures, for crying out loud.
