Henk Guittart, former artistic director of the Schoenberg Ensemble and member of the Schoenberg Quartet, has presented a new arrangement of Arnold Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht, op. 4 for piano trio.

Guittart's arrangement is a departure from that of Eduard Steuermann for piano trio (1932, first published 1979): "After having heard many performances of his version, and after having coached it with several piano trios, I found myself unconvinced by many of his choices; this ultimately led me to make my own arrangement, borrowing from my experience performing the sextet version on many occasions as a member of the Schoenberg Quartet as well as conducting several performances of the 1943 version."
