Along with Alban Berg, and Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern was a composer classified in the Second Viennese School. Webern's music is known for its extreme brevity and strict organization. A performance of the Variations, Op. 27 lasts less than ten minutes - a short period of time during which the audience experiences true extremes. Webern rehearsed the piece with several pianists, which resulted in surprisingly emotional aids to interpretation being handed down. Having consulted all of the available sources, editor Ullrich Scheideler here presents the reviewed musical text and furthermore documents the work's complex genesis and Webern's insightful instructions regarding its performance. A classic of modern music.
