Actually, it's all too listenable

The "Second Viennese School" made it's debut during the bloom of Classical Romanticism for a good reason IMO. That reason? The "classicists" ignored and/or did not bother to memorialize as musical subject matter, too many different aspects of the human experience. By the time Romanticism reached full swing, it was high time for a musical mudbath of some kind.

I think that Beethoven probably was the first major talent to sense and recognize that classical music could use a boost or a change of some kind.

It turned out that the rising middle classes couldn't have cared less, though. It was too late for "The New Romanticism" as envisioned by Schoenberg. The New Romanticism (if it can be called that) turned out to be something akin to *classically informed folk music*.
