I'm writing my first pieces in an atonal style a la early opuses of Berg and Schoenberg and just want to hear your advice and methods for retaining stability, cohesiveness, and form with such ambiguous harmony...sometime i find the harmony keeps me from writing lengthier phrases, i try keeping an overall focus without too much monotony in motive forms, difficulty bridging together different sections or phrases, and have trouble drawing out a form without being too straightforward (for example, recapitulation but not in the true sonata form sense note for note)...to get an idea for what I'm going for stylistically (finale is giving me trouble as of late), feel free to reference schoenberg's op. 11 which i'm currently analyzing...all advice is welcome!
