Aside from a brief vocalise scream in the finale, there is a soprano part in the third movement. The first, second and fourth movements are for orchestra alone.
The Lied der Lulu is subtitled "Anton v. Webern zum 50. Geburtstag" and presumably was written in 1933.
Retagging because the 1935 score does not call it "suite", and any later score is posthumous. It is "symphonic pieces from the opera Lulu". (While one could argue this is almost the definition of a "suite" from a larger work, we have agreed to be rather strict about tags with few exceptions: it is not named suite by the composer (unless in a manuscript not currently available to us?) so it is not tagged so.) However, the tag "pieces" is -never- used for works with vocal parts. So the tag is songs or vocalises, but not pieces.
