Alban Berg was an Austrian composer-expressionist. Born in 1885, he started studying music in the beginning of the 20th century - the time, when period of Romantic music was coming to an end. Hence his decision to use new music forms instead of moribund ones. His Piano Sonata, Op. 1, composed only a few years later after Berg started studying music disciplines with Arnold Schoenberg, is mature and wondrous work, admittedly one of the best debuts in history of classical music. The piece is available for download here: Piano Sonata in B Minor, Op.1.
