Arnold Schoenberg was a mediocre musical talent, and turned to composing in an alienist atonal style only after he could plainly see that he could not compete on tonal musical grounds with the likes of Strauss, Pfitzner, Schreker, Ravel, Debussy, and the like. The man craved attention and success, and most of all, "historical significance" for himself, and therefore devised a system of composing that purposefully could not be understood, thus setting himself up as a pretended misunderstood "genius" in the romantic sense, and claiming that anyone who cried foul regarding his music was simply not sophisticated enough to comprehend his noise. Then he created a rigid mathematical system of organizing tones with no relation whatsoever to natural acoustics or the way human beings make sense of sound.
His string quartets are nice though

Op here.
I forgot to mention he was also a kike.

He wrote some of the best atonal music, coming as a fan of that style who can differentiate different artists rather than hearing it as "noise"
To understand why Schoenberg is so terrible, you must first understand why Wagner is so great.

Any audio books about that?
I agree. The most lazy example of post-tonal composition I can think of.
