A suite for string orchestra by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951), constructed in the manner of a Baroque dance suite. This was the first work that Schoenberg composed after fleeing to the United States, and it was premiered by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of Otto Klemperer in 1935. The suite was originally intended as a pedagogical tool for talented student orchestras to become familiar with modern fingerings, bowings, phrasing, intonation and dynamics, as well as the Baroque dance forms.
