Messiaen, Schönberg and other atonal composers

So I've been recently getting into atonal music (mostly solo piano music thus far) and I figured I might as well start a general thread for it here in the Classical forum.
There are some pieces I'd like to share:

Messiaen: Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus - V. Regard du Fils sur le Fils

Arnold Schönberg: 6 kleine klavierstücke op. 19

Fartein Valen: Intermezzo op. 36

Norwegian composer Fartein Valen (who has composed the piece in the third YT video) referenced a concept coined my Michelangelo; "L'altra beltá" or "The other beauty" when explaining how to appreciate and understand atonal music. It is about defying the traditional concepts of beauty to create another form of such.
Is anyone else interested in atonal music?
