Hey komponisto (and others interested in music) -- if you haven't already seen Vi Hart's latest offering, Twelve Tones, you might want to take a look. Even though it's 30 minutes long.
(I don't expect komponisto, or others at his level, will learn anything from it. But it's a lot of fun.)
I had no idea that the purpose of twelve tone was to teach people how to decontextualize musical sounds. Is listening to such music more valuable than meditation?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't Schoenberg's purpose.
