In the summer of 1934, during a visit to Chautauqua, New York, Schoenberg met Martin Bernstein, who directed a student orchestra at New York University. As a result, he became interested in composing some music for didactic purposes, that is, to be used by students. This Suite was the first of these, and although its technical difficulty makes it beyond the ability of many college orchestras, Schoenberg himself used it in his classes at UCLA as a model of compositional technique. The structure of the Suite is traditional, with a large Overture followed by a slow movement and three dance movements Menuett, Gavotte, and Gigue. As a model for students, each of these movements was constructed using some kind of traditional compositional technique regarding form, rhythm, and melodic patterns. Although the Suite is tonal, Schoenberg took some liberty with harmony and counterpoint, with a resultant style that sounds similar to that of Max Regers, whom Schoenberg was know to have admired.
