Comments: 

Excerpts were performed by Renee Fleming and the Emerson Quartet at Carnegie Hall, May 5, 2013 - "intriguing novelties, especially seldom-heard songs for soprano and string quartet from the 1920s and ’30s by Karl Weigl, a friend and colleague of Schoenberg," - Anthony Tommasini, NY Times.
