Steuermann composed songs and choruses, music for solo piano, chamber works including Seven Waltzes for String Quartet (1946), a piano trio (1954), a string quartet, Diary (1961), and pieces for orchestra, among them a set of Variations (1958) and a Suite for Chamber Orchestra (1964).
Some freely atonal, some serial, they are of economical, fastidious workmanship, imbued always with a keen feeling for instrumental style and sonority, and bearing, in their sensuousness, traces of his involvement with Debussy and Skryabin.

Eduard Steuermann's piano trio transcription of Verklärte Nacht is an altogether unusual achievement.
I'm convinced that, had Steuermann's 1932 arrangement gotten properly out in the world when it was new, it would be well inside the present boundaries of standard repertoire for the ensemble of violin, cello, and piano.
Steuermann's motifs are clearly discernible, quite memorable enough to grasp and recall, and therefore to follow through a process lasting just twenty-three minutes.

A rarity, then, is a heretofore uncatalogued autograph letter from Arnold Schönberg to the renowned pianist Eduard Steuermann written on 8 November 1916, which our foundation was able to acquire at Sotheby’s London auction of 4 December 1998.
Steuermann furthermore arranged "Verklärte Nacht" for piano trio.
Since during the first World War Eduard Steuermann was declared unfit for military duty at the front, he was assigned to the medical staff and in 1916 stationed in Przemysl as corporal.

 Arnold Schoenberg in Berlin
The sounds directly become an animalistic, immediate expression of sensual and spiritual movements.” With “Pierrot lunaire,” Arnold Schönberg wrote a composition that became the embodiment of expressionist aesthetics: to a multi-colored, fixed instrumental quintet is added a speaking voice that takes over the recitation of the 21 texts by Giraud.
The work was completed on 9 July 1912, and the rehearsals, at which the Schönberg pupil and pianist, Eduard Steuermann, played a major role, began: “For my part, I will never forget these weeks and months, when the eight o’clock mail-delivery arrived with a new piece of the work.
Steuermann reported about the première of “Pierrot”: “Frau Zehme insisted on appearing in a Pierrot costume and standing alone on the podium.

As both the son of a singer and the nephew of a singer, he could read notes - as Adorno would have it - before he could read the letters of the alphabet; the earliest of his piano pieces which have been preserved is the work of a seventeen-year-old.
His first composition and piano teachers, in the Frankfurt days, were Bernhard Sekles and Eduard Jung; later, in Vienna, from 1925, it was to be Alban Berg and Eduard Steuermann.
Adorno seems not to have cared much to have his piano pieces counted among those works on the basis of which he wanted to be judged as composer.

 Schoenberg Webern BIS CD-1467 [HC]: Classical CD Reviews- November 2005 MusicWeb-International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht Op.4 is probably one of his best known pieces, either in its original version for string sextet or in the transcription for string orchestra.
However, the present transcription for piano trio, made by Eduard Steuermann in 1932 is a rarity; and this must be its first recording ever.
Although Schoenberg has the lion’s share, the Webern selection may be intrinsically more interesting and revealing, for it confronts mature works with earlier pieces (Two Pieces for cello and piano, 1899) and pieces that have been either discarded or merely forgotten.

 Obituary: Georg Knepler Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
But young Georg, who was used to playing chamber music at home, found the experience distant, impersonal; he far preferred to go to hear Mozart at the Staatsoper - and his sense of the theatrical, of the importance of direct communication, stayed with him all his life.
His undergraduate musical training shaped him as an all-rounder: theory with Guido Adler, piano with Eduard Steuermann and conducting with the composer Hans Gal.
He first made his name as the accompanist, for almost three years from 1928, of the Viennese satirist Karl Kraus.

 CONCERT: SELMA EPSTEIN PLAYS THE PIANO - New York Times
As a pianist, Miss Epstein, who has had a career in Australia, lacked the technique necessary to cleanly articulate the multiple voices and virtuosic figurations of Schumann's ''Kreisleriana.'' She also permitted the lines to drift, clouded contrapuntal activity, and often slackened rhythms into sentimentality, even in some of the minor works.
She has studied with such pedagogues as Rosina Lhevinne and Eduard Steuermann, and as far as sound production and basic instincts were concerned, the training showed.
Miss Epstein cared about the music, and when the occasion permitted, as in Chopin's D flat Nocturne (Op.

I studied with Robert Casadesus in Fontainebleau; I spent a summer with Egon Petri in California; then, when I was already giving concerts, I studied in New York on and off with Eduard Steuermann, the pianist to whom Schoenberg dedicated his Piano Concerto and Webern his Variations.
‘Steuermann was a tremendous musician: a difficult man and a difficult musician too, because he’d convince you one way – and then proceed to convince you of exactly the opposite!
Pressler answers, with a knowing glint: ‘Luck!’ He had begun to make solo recordings in the US for MGM and had thought of recording some Mozart piano trios.

 Love him or loathe him, he transformed music - The Boston Globe
Performance issues also contributed to Schoenberg's scary reputation.
He once quipped, ''I don't write modern music, it is just badly played." He had no lack of gifted interpreters committed to his cause: such soloists as the pianist Eduard Steuermann and the violinist Louis Krasner, as well as chamber musicians including the Kolisch Quartet.
Some of the solo and chamber music consequently found its public before the larger works did.
