Anton Webern (3 December 1883 – 15 September 1945) was an Austrian composer and conductor. He studied composition under Arnold Schoenberg, and met Alban Berg at the Vienna University. Along with his mentor Schoenberg and his colleague Berg, Webern was at the core among those within and more peripheral to the circle of the Second Viennese School, including Ernst Krenek and Theodor W. Adorno. Webern's music was among the most radical of its milieu, both in its concision and in its rigorous and resolute apprehension of twelve-tone technique. Thirty-one of his compositions were published in composer's lifetime.

Giuseppe Sinopoli (2 November 1946 – 20 April 2001) was an Italian conductor and composer. Sinopoli studied conducting at the Vienna Academy of Music under Hans Swarowsky, and began to make a name for himself as a composer of serial works. Sinopoli was principal conductor of the Philharmonia (1984-1994) and Staatskapelle Dresden (1992-2001). His conducting was the object of much controversy, especially in the symphonic genre, with some berating the "eccentricity" of his interpretations, while others praised the insightfulness of his often intellectual approach to works.
