self-taught until his 20th year. His first instruction was received from
his brother-in-law, Alexander von Zemlinsky. In 1901 he went to Berlin,
and became the Kapellmeister of the "Uberbrettl," the cabaret managed by
Birnbaum, Wedekind and von Wolzogen. Due to the influence of Richard
Strauss, he secured a position as instructor in Stern's Conservatory. In
1903 he returned to Vienna. He aroused the interest of Gustav Mahler,
who secured performances for several of his works. The Rose Quartet
performed the sextet "Verklaerte Nacht" and the Quartet, Opus 7. The
"Kammersymphonie" and the choral work "Gurrelieder" were also played. In
1910 Schoenberg was appointed teacher of composition in the Imperial
Academy. In 1911 he returned to Berlin, remaining there till 1916 (?).
