Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna

From The New Yorker's Alex Ross:

"In a handsome twist of fate, [Arnold Schoenberg] the most famously difficult composer of the twentieth century is now the most instantly accessible: possibly no modern artist has such a large Web presence. On the site, you can read immaculate digital reproductions of Schoenberg’s correspondence, listen to his complete works on streaming audio, examine his designs for various inventions and gadgets (including a typewriter for musical notation), and follow links to YouTube videos of him playing tennis..."
