Schönberg: Verklärte Nacht

info:

A new arrangement (2024) for clarinet, violoncello and piano of Schönbergs Verklärte Nacht (originally written for string sextet in 1899).

Following the famous transcription of Verklärte Nacht for violin, violoncello and piano by Eduard Steuermann (1932), I made a new arrangement for clarinet, violoncello and piano. Initially, I thought both versions would be more similar, but my new transcription became very different from the version by Steuermann.
