Pierrot Lunaire (Op. 21): A seminal work of 20th-century music, it is a melodrama for reciter (using Sprechstimme vocal technique) and chamber ensemble, featuring 21 poems. Ein Stelldichein: A sombre and evocative fragment for oboe, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. Herzgewächse (Op. 20): A piece for high soprano, celeste, harmonium, and harp, known for its ethereal and stratospheric vocal demands. Three Pieces for Chamber Orchestra: A set of short, aphoristic pieces showcasing distilled expressionism. Nachtwandler: A sardonic cabaret song (one of the Brettl-Lieder) that presents a more informal side of the composer.
