In addition to already mentioned works:
1. Fünf Orchesterstücke [5 Pieces for Orchestra], Op. 16 (1909)
(From Wikipedia: Schoenberg's British pupil and friend Edward Clark (later to become a renowned BBC music producer and conductor) invited the composer to make his British conducting debut with this work, and on 17 January 1914 he conducted it at the same venue. This was attended by Gustav Holst, who obtained a copy of the score, the only Schoenberg score he ever owned. Echoes of the work appear in The Planets (originally titled Seven Pieces for Large Orchestra), and in the opening of his ballet The Lure (1921), which closely resembles the third of Schoenberg's Five Pieces.)
2. Serenade, Op. 24 (1920/23)
3. A Survivor from Warsaw, Op. 46 (1947)
