who, apart from intellectuals and trained musicians, actually listens to Schoenberg? How valid is an art that does not have an audience? Of course, one might use the "Rite of Spring/Stravinsky" argument that it takes time for new music to be understood and accepted - yet years after the death of many 20th Century composers, no-one is interested or listening (or very few). How can that be valid art?

The gathering storm clouds (in the 20th century) found their reflection in cultural upheaval, including in the music world. No one articulated it more clearly and intensely than Schoenberg, the composer and musical theorist who, in his noted Harmonielehre of 1910, insisted that the task of music as well as art was to show the “sometimes awful and repugnant visions of real life,” as Haas explains it. Schoenberg criticized what he termed the “insane delusion that artists are only in the service of beauty.”

16. Stephen Heller
"I think that natural truths will cease to be spat at us like insults, that aesthetics will once more be linked with ethics, and that people will become aware that in casting out aesthetics that they also cast out a respect for human life, a respect for creation, a respect for spiritual values. Aesthetics was an expression of man's need to be in love with his world. The cult of ugliness is a regression. It destroys our appetite, our love for our world."
