Verklärte Nacht is unique in musical history, for it is the first known programmatic work to be written for a chamber group. The language Schoenberg employs in the piece pushes Wagnerian chromaticism towards new boundaries – it was completed about twenty years before Schoenberg evolved his theory of composition with twelve tones – and the expressive nature of the score is heightened (as the Australian composer Peggy Glanville- Hicks argued) in its stringent quality by the very thinness of the chosen ensemble.
