Alban Berg

Alban Berg was an Austrian composer associated with the Second Viennese School and a student of Arnold Schoenberg. He is known for combining twelve-tone and atonal techniques with late Romantic lyricism and theatrical sensibility, producing works that balance formal rigor and expressive intensity. Notable pieces include the operas Wozzeck and Lulu and the Violin Concerto, which illustrate his blend of modernist technique and emotional immediacy.
