I just discovered this work today. What an amazing piece of music. This is considered one of Schoenberg’s earliest attempts at writing freely atonal music. Glenn Gould plays it beautifully.

A bass-line, notated entirely in whole notes, was provided and it was up to the performers to interpret the rhythm and ornamentation of these melodies. Many sources suggest that these melodies were frequently performed in different meters and styles to depict certain moods, a technique similar to Liszt’s thematic transformation.
The shrill oboe-like instrument you hear is called a bombard. In terms of timbre, it sounds like a cross between an oboe and a trumpet.
