作曲家科恩戈尔德因其创作的好莱坞电影配乐闻名于世,他的朋友勋伯格则以其音乐上的前卫尝试广为人知。尽管两人的看法存在差异,但是科恩戈尔德总是乐于见到勋伯格。有一次,科恩戈尔德、勋伯格和指挥家克伦佩勒一起谈论序列音乐。勋伯格认为一系列音符按照相反的顺序演奏,其主旋律同原来的序列没有区别,然而科恩戈尔德不同意这一看法。 Composer Coren Goldstein is known for his Hollywood soundtracks, and his friend Schoenberg is widely known for his avant-garde experimentation with music. Although there was a difference between the two, Corengold was always happy to see Schoenberg. Once, Cohenold, Schoenberg and conductor Karen Peller talked about sequence music. Schoenberg considered a series of notes in the opposite order of play, the main melody with the original sequence no difference, however, Cohen Golds disagreed with this view.
