The pion polarizability functions are structure functions of pion Compton scattering. They can be assessed in high-energy pion-nucleus bremsstrahlung reactions, {pi}{sup -}+A{yields}{pi}{sup -}+{gamma}+A. We present numerical expectations for pion-nucleus bremsstrahlung cross sections in the Coulomb region, i.e., the small-angle region where the nuclear scattering is dominated by the Coulomb interaction. We investigate the prospects of measuring the polarizability functions for pion-Compton center-of-momentum energies from threshold up to 1 GeV. A meson-exchange model is used for the pion Compton amplitude.
