Abstract
This work represents Schoenberg's attempt at meshing his philosophical ideas with his artistry. The libretto reflects his own voice, and his own approach to the original biblical text. Schoenberg's main point lies in the relationship between Moses and Aron, and the question of which one of these two is better suited to leading the Jewish people to their ultimate goal. Schoenberg is willing to distort the text, and even fabricate, in order to bring this point across. By showing us the faults in Aron, Schoenberg highlights the greatness, and the inhumanity, of Moses.
