Arnold Franz Walther Schönberg è stato un compositore austriaco naturalizzato statunitense. È stato uno tra i primi, nel XX secolo, a scrivere musica completamente al di fuori dalle regole del sistema tonale, ed è stato uno degli applicatori del metodo dodecafonico, basato su una sequenza comprendente tutte le dodici note della scala musicale cromatica temperata.
