Information
Inhalt
The first drafts of the “Suite” op. 29 originate from the autumn of 1924 when Schönberg planned a sequence of lively movements in his 5th sketchbook to which he ascribed various attributes, such as “light, elegant, brisk, Bluff” or “Jo-Jo Foxtrot.” The cheerful character of the Suite, which was completed on May 1, 1926, is a perfect reflection of Schönberg’s enjoyment of life at the time. He was newly married (Honeymoon in Venice) and dedicated the work to his “dear wife” Gertrud, whose musical monogram “eS-G” [E flat-G] is integrated into the music at the beginning and end of each movement. The sequence of the four-part “Suite,” which incorporates elements of tonality into dodecaphony (in the third movement, for example, where references to the song “Ännchen von Tharau” can be heard), combines three movements of the traditional Baroque suite with a set of variations on a song.
Eight shellac discs with a complete recording of the Suite op. 29 have been preserved in Schönberg’s Estate. They were originally linked to the premiere of the work by the composer in 1927 in Paris, but this cannot be definitely proved. An original concert program inserted suggests that the recording was a concert in April 1940 at the Carnegie Chamber Music Hall, New York, with Eduard Steuermann at the piano and Rudolf Kolisch as conductor.
