Larry Kart Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018  Five Pieces for Orch. arranged by Webern, Chamber Symphonies arranged by AS himself. P.S. The album in the middle here, by an Italian piano duo, includes the the same works as the album on top, by the Prague Piano Duo, except that the arrangement of Op. 9 is not by AS but the previously unperformed one done at AS's request by Alban Berg. Berg took a long time over the task, wasn't satisfied by what he had done and/or by how the pianists (one of them Rudolf Serkin) played it in rehearsal for its premiere and cancelled the performance, after which his arrangement remained unplayed. I've ordered that album out of curiosity. The Schoenberg arrangement of Op. 9 is kind of dry, like an X-ray of the piece; I would guess that his intent was to clarify the work's structure, not to attempt to capture its instrumental colors on the keyboard. The Berg arrangement is said to be demandingly virtuosic and probably tries to do what AS's arrangement did not attempt. Also, the Webern arrangement of Five Pieces Op. 16 is fantastic -- a major work in its own right. Webern more or less invents new sorts of piano writing to reflect/capture the unprecedented nature of AS's orchestral writing.
