Beschreibung

The two pieces for violoncello and piano are Anton von Webern's first known essays in musical composition. The pieces are gentle soliloquies for the solo instrument, with the piano providing but a simple chordal accompaniment. Although in romantic vein, the music, marked by quiet poise and restraint, is pure in line and free from sentimentality.
