SCHOENBERG: This recording has been played by Miss Clara Silvers and Mr. Leonard Stein. Both have been my pupils for several years at UCLA and they are among the very best I had. Here they had also the opportunity to show their ability of piano playing but more, and much more, and more important, they show also a great understanding for my music which is very satisfactory for me because it shows that a good musician will always have an understanding for what is created at the time when he lives. Thank you.
