Music for Egon Schiele is the second album by the instrumental group Rachel's, released in 1996.[2][3]
The album was composed as the score to a theatrical production, Egon Schiele, about the life of the painter Egon Schiele.[4] It was staged by the Itinerant Theater Guild, in 1995.[5]

| Sputnikmusic | 4.5/5[7] |
The Village Voice called the album "a haunting array of compositions that attempt to narrate the elements of Schiele's life through cello, piano, viola, and bass."[8] Rolling Stone noted that "the music is as stark and loving as Schiele's art, the sound of a noble, lonely agony rendered in elegant monochrome."[9]
AllMusic wrote that "it is to pianist Rachel Grimes' credit that her pieces convey a stirring sense of drama and vivid imagery that perfectly match her subject."[6]
