Premiered in December 1928 by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler, it was greeted by a tumultuous scandal.〔Frisch, Walter (1999). ''Schoenberg and His World'', p.270.

ISBN 978-0-520-06009-8〕 Schoenberg opened a lecture on the composition with the following tyranny of the majority defense of less common aesthetics: "Far be it from me to question the rights of the majority. But one thing is certain: somewhere there is a limit to the ''power'' of the majority; it occurs, in fact, wherever the essential step is one that cannot be taken by all and sundry."〔Schoenberg, Arnold (March 22, 1931).

Cited in Frisch (1999), p.99.〕 The piece has been arranged for two pianos by Charles Wuorinen and this arrangement was set to a ballet, ''Schoenberg Variations'' (1996), by Richard Tanner of the New York City Ballet.〔Feisst, Sabine (2011).
