Alban Berg is one of the three representatives of Expressionism music in the 20th century. On one hand, he inherits the strict Twelve-note Composition started by his teacher Arnold Schoenberg. On the other hand, more than that of his two colleagues, berg's music belongs emotionally to the romanticism, which forms sharp contrast with the other two composers of the Second Viennese School.
