The piano works by the Swiss composer Erich Schmid (1907-2000), written between 1926 and 1943, are close to the Viennese School of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, but bring their own special colour to this spectrum. Even where they are twelve-tonal, Schmid's piano pieces do not exhaust themselves in strict constructivism, but often have a playful, motoric side. With their manageable rangeand complexity, they provide a comparatively easy access to a style that was formative in the first half of the 20th century. Splitter (Volume 2), a collection of folk song arrangements and character pieces in a freely tonal style, is particularly easy to play. Schmid's first collection Kleine Musik (Volume 1) can also be mastered by amateurs.

Both inventions require careful interpretation of the dynamics and tempo. These two small pieces give a foretaste of the pointillist music of Anton Webern. Polyphonic construction is combined with diverse dynamics and articulation.

The Variations were the only solo piano piece published in Webern's lifetime and the last Webern piece published by UE while he was alive. While musicologists wax poetic about Webern's 12-tone technique and whether the title Variations is appropriate, we will praise Manoukian for a successful transcription of the work for solo guitar. With fingerings and notations, his score brings Webern's landmark work to an entirely new group of musicians.

Friede auf Erden op. 13 is regarded as Arnold Schoenberg's last tonal composition and is one of the few choral works of the Second Viennese School. On the same day that he completed his op. 13, Schoenberg made the first sketches for his 2nd String Quartet, a key work in atonal music. Although Schoenberg later orchestrated Friede auf Erden, he intended the piece to be performed unaccompanied.To help rehearsing the work, this choral score contains the piano transcription made by Anton Webern for use in rehearsals for the planned first performance. The text for op. 13 is a secular Christmas poem by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. At the time of its composition (1907), Schoenberg thought the vision of a reine Harmonie unter Menschen (pure harmony amongst people) described in the poem was conceivable, but he later distanced himself from this idea. What remained is a composition of great artistic power and depth - a real showpiece for ambitious choirs!
