I had always heard that it was Arnold Schoenberg, the egghead who developed 
the 12-tone “serialism” technique for composing music; but it turns out to 
have been Kurt Weill.  "I have never acknowledged the difference between 
'serious' music and 'light' music," Weill once said. "There is only good 
music and bad music."
