Berg had little formal music education before he became a student of   Arnold Schoenberg  in October 1904. With Schoenberg he studied counterpoint, music theory, and harmony

Among Schoenbergs teaching was the idea that the unity of a musical composition depends upon all its aspects being derived from a single basic idea, this idea was later known as developing variation. Berg passed this on to his students, one of whom, Theodor W. Adorno, stated: The main principle he conveyed was that of variation: everything was supposed to develop out of something else and yet be intrinsically different. The Piano Sonata is an example—the whole composition is derived from the works opening quartal gesture and its opening phrase.

In 1913, two of Bergs Five Songs on Picture Postcard Texts by Peter Altenberg (1912) were premièred in Vienna, conducted by Schoenberg in the infamous Skandalkonzert.

From 1915 to 1918, Berg served in the Austro-Hungarian Army and during a period of leave in 1917 he accelerated work on his first opera, Wozzeck.

Opera was composed between 1914 and 1922 and first performed in 1925. The opera is based on the drama Woyzeck, which was left incomplete by the German playwright Georg Büchner at his death. Berg attended the first production in Vienna of Buchners play on 5 May 1914, and knew at once that he wanted to base an opera on it.

Today Wozzeck is seen as one of the centurys most important works.

Berg is remembered as one of the most important composers of the 20th century and to date is the most widely performed opera composer among the Second Viennese School.

His works seen as more emotional than Schoenbergs. He have preserved the Viennese tradition in his music.

His popularity has been more easily secured than many other Modernists since he plausibly combined both Romantic and Expressionist idioms. Though Bergs Romanticism at one time seemed a drawback for some more modernist composers.
