Title NameVerklaerte Nacht, Op. 4 (composer’s 1917 transcription)
Marketing CopyVERKLÄRTE NACHT (TRANSFIGURED NIGHT), Op. 4, originally written for string sextet in one movement, was composed by Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) in 1899. Composed in three weeks, it is one of Schoenberg’s earliest important works. It was inspired by Richard Dehmel’s poem VERKLÄRTE NACHT and Schoenberg’s feelings upon meeting his future wife. The piece can be divided into five distinct sections which refer to the five stanzas of Dehmel’s poem. VERKLÄRTE NACHT premiered on March 18, 1902, in the Vienna Musikverein by the Rosé Quartet. This version, transcribed for string orchestra by the composer, premiered in the English city of Newcastle upon Tyne in December of 1924. This reprint edition is edited by Clinton F. Nieweg and Mark Laycock. Instrumentation: String Orchestra (8-8-3.3-3.3-5 in set).
