Austrian-born composer (1874-1951) whose development of the 'twelve-tone' system proved to be one of the most far-reaching innovations in the history of 20th century music. Scarce vintage glossy 8 x 9.75 close-up portrait of the pioneering composer, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To my dear friend, Walter Hinrichsen who will evidently be a publisher of Edition Peters who like his revered father is a friend of artists—Arnold Schönberg, September 1950.” In very good condition, with trimmed edges, silvering, creasing, heavy crazing to the emulsion, and fading to the last name of the signature.
