Description:
After Alban Berg, Anton Webern is the second composer of the Viennese School to be included in the Henle catalog. Webern's music is known for its extreme brevity and strict organization. The performance of the Variations, Op. 27, lasts less than ten minutes - a short period of time in which listeners experience true extremes. Webern rehearsed the piece with several pianists, and surprisingly emotional interpretive aids survive from this collaboration. After consulting all available sources, editor Ullrich Scheideler now presents a newly revised musical text and, moreover, documents the intricate genesis and Webern's insightful notes on the performance. A classic of modernism, now also in Henle blue.
