Variations for orchestra, op. 31 - Arnold Shönberg (1928)
Shönberg relied a lot on the piano for atonal music, however, this composition was made for a complete orchestra. Here, Shönberg uses a great variety of instruments to give the atonal piece a more developed texture. The atonal works of Shönberg reflect the chaos of the Weimar republic by giving us this mysterious vibe; since there isn't an organisation of notes, we can't predict the next one. It was the same thing during the Weimar republic; the political and economical disorder made the future unpredictable for the Germans.
Sunny Land - George Grosz (1920)
This Dada painting by Grosz shows how dadaism didn't necessarily have to make sense or have a single focus of attention. This painting shows various elements in a landscape and can be interpreted in various ways. This painting in particular also shows dadaism as a precursor of surrealism. In my opinion, this painting also has an objective of criticizing. George Grosz was a Marxist, so the pigs probably refer to the "capitalist pigs". The butchers and the dog eating pork contribute to the irony of this composition.
Etchings - George Grosz (1921)
Piano Concerto Op. 42 - Arnold Shönberg (1942)
Arnold Shönberg was the most relevant atonal music composer in Germany during the Weimar republic. This piano concerto shows us how atonal music does not obey any keys or musical scales, giving it an "alien-like" sound.
Drei Klavierstücke - Arnold Shönberg (1909)
These are said to be Shönberg's first atonal works. These pieces use dodecaphony, which means any notes can be used in any order and rhythm. Some people describe this kind of music as "something written by a child with no idea how to play the piano", while others praise how this music style evokes feelings without using traditional music rules.
