"I may seem daring to compare Schonberg's piano works in their significance with Beethoven's. Compared with the later's 32 piano sonatas the former wrote only six piano pieces which, moreover, are often hardly longer than a few minutes. And still the compositional evolution of this great innovator of the music of our century is mirrored within the little piano pieces which, within the oeuvre of Schonberg, play a similarly important role as Beethoven's great sonatas: Within them new compositional and technical achievements are beeing concentrated, which later on also found their way into the great compositions."-Reinhard Kager
