With Schoenberg, freedom in modulation is not only permissible, but is an iron rule; he is obsessed by the theory of overtones, and his music is not only horizontally and vertically planned, but, so I pretend to hear, also in a circular fashion. He says: "Harmonie fremde Töne gibt es also nicht" and a sly dig at the old-timers "sondern nur dem Harmoniesystem fremde."
The tune was flowing and sweet; and as our boat drifted on, the words of the singer became audible. "O miroir ondoyant! Je rève en te voyant Harmonie et lumière, O ma rivière, O ma belle rivière! "On voit se réfléchir Dans ses eaux les nuages; Elle semble dormir Entre les pâturages Où paissent les grands boeufs Et les grasses genisses. Au pâtres amoureux Que ses bords sont propices!"
I could see that he was not an Italian, neither was he a German nor a Frenchman. He looked more like a well-to-do Dutchman like one of those young fellows you and I used to see at the Harmonie Club in Dordrecht, or on the veranda of the Amstel, in Amsterdam. They look more like Americans than any other people in Europe.
