Alban Berg composed his Three Pieces for Orchestra (German: Drei Orchesterstücke), Op. 6, during 1913 and 1914. They are dedicated to his teacher Arnold Schoenberg. A revised version of the score was published in 1929 by Universal Edition. The first performance of the first two pieces took place in Berlin in 1923, conducted by Anton Webern; the complete work was premiered (in the revised version) in Oldenburg in 1930, conducted by Johannes Schüler.
