Title: [Op. 13]. "Friede auf Erden
Author: SCHOENBERG, Arnold 1874-1951
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Cöln am Rhein: Tischer & Jagenberg [PN T. & J. 138], 1912. Large octavo. Original dark ivory wrappers printed in red and blue/black. 19 pp. Text in German and English. Signature to upper outer corner of upper wrapper (?"Trevor Hawley, B.N.C. 7.x 31"). Wrappers slightly worn and soiled; outer margins browned; slightly separated at upper hinge. First Edition, second issue, with English text. Rufer, pp. 30-31. GA B/18/1, p. 19. Schoenberg's most famous choral work is also infamous for its difficulty. A planned performance in 1908 by the Singverein was canceled for this reason. Franz Schreker requested that Schoenberg add an orchestral part to support the singers, and it was in this version that the work premiered on 9 December 1911 in Vienna. A note in the published versions of the score still states that the work is to be performed a cappella, and that only when "the purity of the intonation fails" is the accompaniment to be used.
