Best Answer

He began writing romantic music with daring chromaticism, then moved to experiment with timbre, quartal harmony and atonality. He eventually developed his famous twelve-tone system (other composers did the same independently) which his student Alban Berg and Anton Webern mastered. Webern eventually became the leading influence on the modernists after World War II and this influence can naturally be traced back to Schönberg, making him one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Some famous pieces are Pelléas and Melisande, Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Pierrot Lunaire, Five Pieces for Orchestra and A Survivor from Warsaw.

His harsh, dissonant, musical compositions.

Another answer:

Schoenberg, along with Berg and Webern, is best known for being one of the founders of the Second Viennese School. They developed the use of the twelve-tone row ('atonal' music) as the basis of composition, which they saw as a logical development from the increasing chromaticism of music since Wagner. (As indeed it was.) Much of Schoenberg's music is neither harsh, nor any more dissonant than music of earlier composers. Like any other form of artistic expression, it repays study and benefits from being considered in its chronological context.

Arnold Schoenberg was responsible for the development of the twelve-tone system and atonality. Schoenberg was one of the members of the Second Viennese School, along with Webern and Berg. He developed Klangfarbenmelodie and the Sprechstimmetechnique, which was demonstrated in his song cycle Pierrot lunaire.
