![Webern in [[Stettin]], October 1912](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Anton_Webern_in_Stettin%2C_October_1912.jpg)
Peripatetic, unhappy, and often assigned light music and operetta in his early conducting career, he aspired to conduct more established repertoire with more autonomy at home in Vienna. During and after World War I, he set folk, lyric, and spiritual texts in texturally dense . He came to some prominence and increasingly high regard as a vocal coach, choirmaster, conductor, and teacher Hanns Eisler, Arnold Elston, , Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Philip Herschkowitz, Roland Leich, Kurt List, , , Karl Rankl, George Robert (briefly of the First Piano Quartet), , Humphrey Searle, Leopold Spinner, Eduard Steuermann, Stefan Wolpe, , and possibly René Leibowitz.}} in Red Vienna. With a publication contract through Emil Hertzka's Universal Edition and Schoenberg away at the Prussian Academy of Arts, Webern wrote music of increasing confidence, independence, and scale using twelve-tone technique. He maintained his "path to the new music" while marginalized as a "cultural Bolshevist" effectively until his death.
A variety of post-World War II musicians celebrated his music, much of which was first published only then or later still. Among these were many composers influenced especially by his twelve-tone music in a phenomenon known as post-Webernism, linking but not restricting Webern's legacy to serialism. Understanding of his musical semantics or semiotics, performance pratice, and sociocultural contexts was widely fledgling after years of severe disruption. This was gradually improved by musicians and scholars who helped publish and record his works as well as establish his music as modernist repertoire. A (complete edition) is pending.
