Berg is remembered as one of the most important composers of the 20th century and the most widely performed opera composer among the Second Viennese School.{{sfn|Jarman|2001}} He is said to have brought more "human values" to the [[Twelve-tone technique|twelve-tone system]], his works seen as more "emotional" than Schoenberg's.{{sfn|Ewen|1952|p=20}} Critically, he is seen as having preserved the Viennese tradition in his music.{{sfn|Jarman|2001}}

Berg scholar Douglas Jarman writes in ''[[The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians]]'' that "[as] the 20th century closed, the 'backward-looking' Berg suddenly came as [George] [[George Perle|Perle]] remarked, to look like its most forward-looking composer."{{sfn|Jarman|2001}}
