Musicology:
Commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in the war and did so much to commission and perform music for left hand alone, this unusual suite was extremely well received, both critically and by the public. The sparse score gives full rein to the pianist's virtuoso capabilities and the five small movements range from bitter disillusion to a melodious sense of peace and fulfillment. The theme for the slow movement is taken from the Op. 22 song Was du mir bist?
