Drei Kompositionen, Op. 18

Drei Kompositionen, Op. 18 is a set of three compositions by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, written around 1913. These works explore early atonal techniques, moving away from traditional tonal harmony, and reflect Schoenberg’s transition towards atonal and later serial music. Each piece showcases a different emotional or technical aspect, demonstrating innovative uses of harmony, rhythm, and structure. The compositions are significant for their role in modern music development and illustrate Schoenberg’s experimentation that paved the way for 20th-century musical freedom beyond traditional tonality.
