Work introduction
Anton Webern arranged Franz Schubert’s six Deutsche Tänze for piano, D820, in 1931 for chamber orchestra, woodwind and two horns. His alterations are limited to occasional separation of the parts, bringing out the solo lines. Webern aimed to allow the structure of the work to emerge more clearly, while retaining a sound similar to Schubert’s. The result is a miracle of precision, tonal differentiation and glowingly shaded colours.
