  Title: Die glückliche Hand
  Passage: Die glückliche Hand ("The Hand of Fate"), Op.  18, is a "Drama mit Musik" ("drama with music") by Arnold Schoenberg in four scenes.  It was composed between 1910 and 1913.  Like "Erwartung", composed a year earlier, it was heavily influenced by Otto Weininger's book "Sex and Character".  Unlike "Erwartung", Schoenberg wrote the libretto for "Die glückliche Hand" himself.  The first performance took place in Vienna on 24 October 1924.  The underlying message of the piece is the idea that man continues to repeatedly make the same mistakes, and the plot is developed from events in Schoenberg’s personal life.
