Schoenberg’s school functioned as an authoritative doctrinal community

Evidence

Berg was the friendliest and most liberal of those in the Schoenberg circle, and what he taught Adorno unmistakably had the character of a doctrine, the authority of "our school"'. Everything Schoenbergian is holy,’ Adorno wrote to Kracauer in March 1925, `the only other contemporary music which counts is Mahler, and anyone who is against this will be crushed.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 289
