+1 on the Schoenberg.
However, if I had to choose just ONE, piece, I think I would, eventually, have to go with G. F. Haas's "In Vain." This piece is just 63 minutes of gorgeous, shimmering beauty. (If you have somehow missed this gem among gems, be sure to turn off the lights, it is intended to be performed in the dark!)
Close runner-ups would be Ravel's "Daphnes et Chloe," Górecki's "Symphony No. 3 'Sorrowful Songs'," and, of course, Stravinsky's (in)famous "Rite of Spring."
Apologies for the lack of links, apparently newbies aren't allowed!
