    Information

    Content

    On April 9, 1923 Arnold Greissle was born in Mödling near Vienna, the son of Schönberg’s daughter Gertrud and her husband Felix Greissle, a former student of Schönberg’s. Only a few days later, on April 14, Schönberg began work on a wind quintet, the first draft of which he completed on July 26, 1924. More than fifteen years earlier, with the “Chamber Symphony,” op. 9, he had succeeded in compressing a complete symphonic cycle into a movement of barely twenty minutes; now the Wind Quintet proved that the twelve-tone method could be used to master extensive formal processes even without tonality. The dedication of the piece “Dem Bubi Arnold” reveals the grandfather’s pride in his first-born grandson, as well as perhaps Schönberg’s conviction that he had laid a foundation for the future with this new work.

    Parts of the Wind Quintet were composed at Traunsee in the summer of 1923, in Villa Spaun (“Hofrichterhaus”), also called the “Roner Villa” after its owner at the time, Baron Hermann Roner. (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
