Music worth fighting over: Schoenberg's First Chamber Symphony at The Rest is Noise

Paul Kilbey, 20th January

You are sitting in the choir stalls of the Royal Festival Hall, watching the ceramic artist and writer Edmund de Waal address you, his back to an enormous sea of empty, grey, imposing seats. He is delivering a vivid narrative account of a day in the life of a young aristocratic Jewish boy in early 20th-century Vienna.
