Description

Following Alban Berg, Anton Webern is the second composer of the Second Viennese School to be included in the Henle catalogue. Webern's music is renowned for its extreme brevity and strict organization. His Variations op. 27 can be performed in under ten minutes, during which the audience experiences profound emotional extremes.

Webern worked closely with several pianists to refine the piece, resulting in insightful performance instructions that have been passed down. Drawing on all available sources, editor Ullrich Scheideler now presents a reviewed musical text, thoroughly documenting the work's complex genesis and Webern's interpretive guidance.

This classic of modern music is now available in the prestigious Henle blue edition.
