  1. Sämtliche Klavierwerke

    Arnold Schönberg

    Sämtliche Klavierwerke

    This volume brings together Schönberg’s complete works for piano solo, and thereby presents a wide span from the free atonal pieces of op. 11 to the aphoristic op. 19, the fascinating tone-row experiments of op. 23 to the dodecaphonically conceived works op. 25, 33a & 33b. Additionally, in the appendix, three pieces from 1894 by the twenty-year-old...
  2. Streicherserenade

    Peter Tschaikowsky

    Streicherserenade

    Tchaikovsky spent the summer and autumn of 1880 at his sister’s country estate in Kam’ianka, Ukraine, where he sought peace and relaxation. But after a short time the desire to work took hold of him again. “I’m sketching a symphony or string quintet just now; I don’t know where it’s going yet,” he wrote to his friend and patroness Nadezhda von Meck...

    Arnold Schönberg

    Verklärte Nacht op. 4

    In setting Richard Dehmel’s poem “Verklärte Nacht” (Transfigured Night) in his op. 4, the young Arnold Schönberg pursued the intention, as he himself said, of “attempting those new forms in chamber music which have been created in orchestral music based on a poetic idea”. Composed in September 1899 in a few weeks whilst he was on holiday, the Sexte...

  5. Visions fugitives op. 22

    Sergej Prokofjew

    Visions fugitives op. 22

    Prokofiev did not compose his Visions fugitives – 20 “fleeting visions” – in one go, but in clusters between 1915 and 1917, immediately before the Russian Revolution that compelled him to leave his native country in 1918. We know from his diaries that at least some of them owe their existence to extra-musical impulses. Thus several pieces were insp...
  6. Toccata Opus 11

    Sergej Prokofjew

    Toccata Opus 11

    The toccata genre has undergone great change since Bach’s time. Originally denoting works of recitative or improvisatory character, since the 19th century the emphasis has been on a continuous pulsating rhythm. In Prokofiev’s masterpiece, composed in 1912, this rhythm grows into a hammering motoric drive that dispenses with developed themes or moti...
  7. Klaviersonate Nr. 7 op. 83

    Sergej Prokofjew

    Klaviersonate Nr. 7 op. 83

    Prokofiev’s Piano Sonatas 6–8 are often referred to as “war sonatas”, since they were composed in Russia during World War II during times of great hardship. As the shortest of the three, no. 7 is entirely focused on the essentials, and is certainly Prokofiev’s most famous piano sonata. Anyone who has heard it will not forget the hasty first movemen...
