Over 50 years, he collected from intellectuals from all over the world and from many fields (scientific, literary, artistic), their opinions on life, death, evolution etc. and eventually compiled approx. 13,000 such responses.  Among these were the \" maximes de vie \"  of  many prominent figures, including Arnold Schoenberg.  Though the typescript to this enormous collection is mentioned in other correspondance, we found no record of it ever being published.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093097336991,"sku":"397","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Schoenberg_TLS_Ensemble_1.jpg?v=1722185920","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/397-schoenberg-arnold-signed-letter-1929","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
