Arnold Schoenberg wrote "Pierrot Lunaire" in 1912. He called for five instrumental players and a woman's voice. The voice was noted on the staff with x rather than a round note because he wanted the voice to sound like speech. The result is a cross between speaking and singing. You can hear many recordings of this work, beginning with the one that the composer supervised. Most performers render the Sprechstimme in the same manner as this original recording, but there was one in which Ilona Steingruber really sang the pitches. This work is the most famous use of Sprechstimme in music.

Sprechstimme is a vocal style that falls between speaking and singing. It involves a performer half-speaking and half-singing the text in a rhythmic and pitch-specific manner. Developed by composers like Arnold Schoenberg, sprechstimme is often used to create a unique and expressive effect in music compositions.

What is unusual about Schoenberg's song Moonstruck Pierrot?
it is partly sung and partly spoken, and is composed using the atonal style known as "twelve-tone" music. The twelve tones of an octave are arranged in an (seemingly random) order that is then built upon throughout the piece. The result is an ackward structure that is musical anarchy. as for the odd singing, it is the German style called "Sprechstimme" (speech-voice). It is a vocal technique that has the vocalist declare the text and not really sing it. Once the singer hits a pitch, they quit the tone immediately. This creates an exaggerated declamation that sounds like a lunatic Source: Listening to Music: 5th Edition. Craig Wright

How was the phantom of the opera received by critics?
It is hard to say which movie or stage-play the questioner means...there are several movies and several TV movies and several musicals and several stage plays of the Phantom of the Opera. I do not want to go through all of them what professional critics had to say for each one. In 1925 Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera brought fear and women were fainting when his Phantom was unmask in the movie theater. The hardest criticisms was Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera 2004 that Gerald Butler could not sing..Emmy Rossum show a blank expression and that Patrick Wilson was dull. Stage-play 1986 the Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's London Phantom of the Opera praise for perfection of following actors and singers Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steven Barton and for best actor Micahel Crawford receives a Olivier Award (Best Actor in a Musical), a Tony Award (Best Performance by an Actor in a Lead Role, Musical), an N.Y's Drama Desk Award, and a Los Angeles Drama Critics' Circle Award for Distinguished Achievement in Theatre (Lead Performance) for his efforts.
