Information

Inhalt

Arnold Schönberg spent his vacation in the summer of 1909 with his family and friends in Steinakirchen (Lower Austria), where he composed the “Five Pieces for Orchestra,” op. 16 and also the monodrama “Expectation” op. 17.

On October 17, 1948 Winfried Zillig conducted the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra playing the “Five Pieces for Orchestra” op. 16 by his former teacher and sent the live recording from Germany to Schönberg in California on an audio tape. There, the recording was copied onto discs – after some delay as Schönberg could not find the suitable equipment for playing the recording. Zillig sent the following description of the performance: “Yesterday I did the five orchestral pieces. I believe it was a very good performance, our wind section played magnificently, and so the many wonderfully gentle passages sounded splendid. The second and third made the greatest impression on the orchestra and audience, which went along with it all superbly. […] The orchestra – and that was the finest experience for me – understood your five orchestral pieces, the thematic writing, the architectonics, and above all the unprecedented boldness of the musical vision, its greatness, and its absolute purity.” (Letter dated October 18, 1948)

Schönberg was only able to hear the recording in the spring of 1950 and was not especially fond of the interpretation: “In your performance there is much that is far too slow. You were probably unable to remember my performance properly. […] What metronome marking did you choose?” (Schönberg to Zillig, April 4, 1950) (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
