Catalogue Note
Between 1907 and 1920, Franz Schreker was responsible for giving many first performances of new music with the Philharmonic Chorus in Vienna, including Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden and Gurrelieder, the latter triumphantly premiered at the Musikvereinsaal on 23 February 1913. This lot and the two following Schoenberg lots were given by Maria Schreker to the present owner on the occasion of his performance of piano works by Schoenberg, Webern and Berg at the Städisches Konservatorium Berlin.
