Four Pieces, Op. 5

In a letter to Erwin Schulhoff, Berg bitterly complained about his unsuccessful attempt to find a publisher for his ôPieces for Clarinetö, ôOnce again at my own expense! A few antique pieces in my apartment had to pay for it àö The concise miniatures are outstanding examples of the ôlittle piecesö genre, to which Arnold Schoenberg and Anton von Webern also contributed. We warmly recommend these short but imaginative pieces in Henle Urtext to all those clarinettists who are willing to experiment.
