This production interweaves dramatic and documentary technique to capture the flavor of the years 1906 to 1923 when Arnold Schoenberg single-handedly transformed the language of music. Location footage in Vienna and the Austrian countryside combines with archival film and re-enacted "home movies." Such luminaries as Anton Webern, Mahler, and Wassily Kandinsky are brought back from the mists of time to speak directly to the camera about their own experiences with this musical giant.
