^{page 28 note 1} Unlike Schoenberg's immature quartet, Webern's of 1905 is a somewhat pretentious piece, in one movement. It is prefaced by a bit of metaphysics from Jacobus Boehme, and shows that Webern had followed Schoenberg into the musical climate of Verklärte Nacht (first performed in 1903). The piece is proficient enough to be taken seriously but it is not as fully committed as, say, Berg's roughly contemporaneous setting of Hauptmann's ‘Nacht’ in the Seven Early Songs. Webern's advance to his Opus 3 songs of 1907–8 was a great one.
