SCHOENBERG,
Arnold,
1874-1951
Sechs kleine Klavierstücke op. 19
Six Little Piano
Pieces op. 19
Facsimile
Edition. Commentary by Christian Meyer
Holograph Fair Copy of Piece no. six
Vienna,
2009.
4°,
23 pp. Full-color reproduction. Arnold Schoenberg’s Six Little Piano Pieces Op.19,
composed in 1911, can be counted among the iconic works of the music of
the 20th century. Extreme concision of diction and an immediate will to
expression are here combined. This newly released facsimile edition
permits a detailed study of the composer’s first written "working" copy
and holograph fair copy. The aura of the manuscripts conveyed by the
faithful reproduction of the originals gives an impression of the
uniqueness of this piece in its time and also in ours. It allows us to
follow compositional thought processes and to obtain insight into
details of interpretation. Commentary in English. Includes reproduction
of Schoenberg's moving painting (oil on canvas) of Gustav Mahler's
burial (no. VI of Six Little Pieces
was sketched under the
immediate effect of Mahler's funeral).
