The greatest influence on Arnold Schoenberg's early compositions was the music of Richard Wagner. Wagner's innovative harmonic language and expressive use of orchestration deeply impacted Schoenberg's early style, as he sought to expand the emotional and structural possibilities of music. Additionally, the late Romantic traditions and the works of Johannes Brahms also played a significant role in shaping Schoenberg's early artistic development.
