Inhalt

The premiere of Arnold Schönberg’s “Piano Concerto,” op. 42 took place on February 6, 1944 in the Radio City Music Hall, New York. Eduard Steuermann, a former student of Schönberg and pianist at the performance, told Schönberg about the concert a few days later. The composer had listened to the radio broadcast: “Being so deeply involved in all the details of the performance I suffered very much by all the bad ‘accidents’ which happened, though it was beyond my power to prevent many of them. [...] The reasons for the shortcomings were many and the performance could probably have been much better; one of them the inadequate contact with the conductor and the difficulties in hearing (for me) caused by the ‘Sitzordnung’ [seating arrangement] of the orchestra which, as I was told, is the ‘best one’ and ‘successfully tried out’ for radio transmission. (I hardly could hear the woodwinds). [...] It will interest you that the studio hall was crowded (about 1000 persons) and the response extremely warm. I had to reappear 4 times which, as I am told, hardly ever happens in these concerts. More than half of the audience were in uniform. There was the most enthusiastic response from different friends and ‘sympathizers.’ The first one to call me was [Bertolt] Brecht, whom I never have seen as happy about any work of art; later [Artur] Schnabel, who was not present (it was extremely difficult to get tickets) and heard it over the radio.”
