Schleiermacher/Holzmann - Literatur/Musik

In the organizer's words:

Apropos "Doctor Faustus" - Thomas Mann and Arnold Schönberg in dispute: texts and piano music by Mann, Schönberg, Adorno, Hauer and others - a strange dispute about priorities and hegemonies of European artists in American exile.
Thomas Mann's artist novel "Dr, Faustus", published in 1947 in American exile, was the cause of a public dispute between Thomas Mann and the composer Arnold Schönberg, who believed he was denounced and caricatured in the novel's main character. And who saw himself robbed of the "invention of twelve-tone music".
The reading and concert features music and texts by the two main protagonists, but also broadens the horizon to include other participants in America and Europe.

Who invented what and when? Who was allowed to use what and how? Was the dispute justified? Was it just two somewhat egomaniacal artistic personalities? What was it actually about?
Jörg Holzmann and Steffen Schleiermacher in conversation.
