Anton Webern - Five Pieces for Orchestra Op. 10 (1913)
(3 December 1883 – 15 September 1945) was an Austrian composer and conductor
These pieces are the last orchestral works Webern published before his adoption of the 12-tone method.
flute, oboe, E-flat clarinet (= clarinet), clarinet (= bass clarinet), horn, trumpet, trombone, percussion, mandolin, guitar, celesta, harmonium, harp, violin, viola, cello, and bass
The designation “for Orchestra” is misleading in that the instrumental ensemble consists entirely of solo players and, though small in numbers, do not fit the concept of a chamber orchestra. Each piece is formed with different combinations of solo instruments, some of them unknown as components of any kind of orchestra. Thus Opus 10 employs a harmonium, a guitar, and a mandolin, together with seven wind instruments (no bassoon) and a string section limited to four solo instruments, violin, viola, cello, bass, in addition to a duo of celesta and harp, and eight percussion instruments, including cowbells. Bell-like sonorities from string and harp harmonics and the high notes of the celesta produce a mountain village atmosphere.
