Schoeck conducted the first-ever concert performance of Vom Fischer on 16 January 1931, in St. Gallen. The Swiss staged premiere followed eight days later at the Zurich City Theater, coupled with the revised Ranudo, as in Dresden, and on 7 February Schoeck conducted a concert performance of his new opera in Winterthur, as part of a “Schoeck evening” that also included the world premiere of his new song cycle, Wanderung im Gebirge. Stravinsky was also around this month, in order to conduct his Apollon musagète and The Fairy's Kiss in Winterthur, and he stayed with Reinhart from 17 to 22 January. We do not know if Reinhart brought the two men together, though since Schoeck was due to conduct Stravinsky's Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra in St. Gallen on 5 February (with Fritz Müller as soloist), perhaps he had scheduled it in the hope that the composer might attend (though he did not). Stravinsky's was not the only modern work on the bill, for the same concert also included Kodály's Háry Jánós Suite, Manuel de Falla's Nights in the Garden of Spain, and Roussel's Concerto Op. 34 for Small Orchestra. Schoeck's programs had lost none of their inventiveness.
