Eccentric Austrian composer meets live string quartet.
Self-confessed genius Arnold Schoenberg has taken to his bed in 1951 Los Angeles believing that this will be his last day alive. The clock is ticking toward midnight. His numerology is never wrong.
Struggling in an unappreciative Hollywood, Arnold reflects on an earlier life of fame filled with glorious Viennese music and where his modern compositions caused riots, where friends and lovers constantly betrayed him and where a failed ‘artist’ became Führer and force
