Emancipation of the dissonance

The emancipation of the dissonance was a concept or goal put forth by Arnold Schoenberg, composer of atonal music and the inventor of the twelve tone technique. It may be described as a metanarrative to justify atonality.

1910: Emancipation of Dissonance is a book by Thomas Harrison which uses Schoenberg's 'revolution' to trace other movements in the arts around that time.
