In 1929, Schönberg was commissioned by Heinrichshofen Verlag in Magdeburg to compose a film score. He oriented himself upon the key words “threatening danger, fear, catastrophe.” The original manuscript, stored at Heinrichshofen, was destroyed when a bomb was dropped on the publishing house in World War II. Schönberg retained this negative print of his autograph copy.
