Verklarte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Op. 4 (1943 Revision): Full Score

Inspired by Richard Dehmel’s poem “Verklärte Nacht” (“Transfigured Night”), this 1899 work for string sextet is very much in the late-Romantic tradition. Schoenberg deftly translates the poem’s pathos into a monumental work of chamber music. The work is reproduced here from an authoritative edition, complete with bar-numbered movements for easy reference.
