Sheesh, Chris, just because I point out that Stravinsky and Schoenberg have had an important impact on Western music and culture doesn't mean we should forget about Beethoven and his impact.
Like any successful artist, Rochberg built on the past to create his own unique voice. Yes, he used Beethoven and Mahler as jumping off points, and Ives and Boulez too, iirc. But he is a lot different from any of them, isn't he? I'm no Rochberg expert, but I've played his music, I like the Concord quartets, and I'm a big fan of the Concord String Quartet to whom they were dedicated.
