Alban
Berg's (1885-1935) Vier
Stücke für Klarinette
und Klavier (Four Pieces
for Clarinet and Piano),
Op. 5, was composed in
1913. They are his only
true miniatures as,
shortly after he wrote
them, a fateful and
somewhat traumatic lesson
with his tutor Arnold
Schoenberg drove the
young Berg to abandon
small-scale works
altogether, turning
towards large extended
orchestral works at his
teacher's heavily
critical insistence. Each
of the four movements (1.
Mäßig; 2. Sehr langsam;
3. Sehr rasch; 4.
Langsam) constantly
changes in tempo,
articulation, timbral
effects, and dynamics
throughout. Despite
Schoenberg's criticism in
1913, the work did
finally premiere on
October 17, 1919,
ironically at
Schoenberg's own Society
for Private Musical
Performances in Vienna.
