Norbert von Hannenheim Edition

As part of the Hannenheim Edition, the pianist Moritz Ernst also presents, in addition to the anthology of all the surviving piano sonatas of Arnold Schoenberg's master-class pupil, the edition of Hannenheim's two previously known organ works. The early Phantasie is imbued with a late Romantic harmony interspersed with chromaticisms, which reveal influences of Wagner and Strauss, but also of French organ romanticism.
More typical of Hannenheim's personal style is the classical three-movement Sonata with its all-pervading serial technique ; the last movement presents itself as an extensive passacaglia with 10 variations and is steeped in complex polyphony. Instrumentation : organ
