Synopsis
Guy Rickards’ innovative biography examines three German composers – Paul Hindemith (1895–1963), Karl Amadeus Hartmann (1905–63) and Hans Werner Henze (b. 1926) – and demonstrates how a number of parallels can be drawn between their works, influences and roles in musical history, despite their varied backgrounds, musical approaches and political leanings. A combination of new directions and German traditions was common to the music of all three composers; their works acknowledged the musical heritage of their homeland while also expanding and adding to it. During the twentieth century, the entwined lives of these three men served to create new paths and possibilities for the development of German music.

Hartmann, Hindemith & Henze (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Twentieth-century German music has been characterized by its extreme diversity. A central mainstream has been dominated, however, by the work of Paul Hindemith (1895 — 1963), Karl Amadeus Hartmann (1905 — 63) and Hans Werner Henze (b. 1926). Born at different time, and from different backgrounds, there are remarkable parallels between their careers. This book looks at how all three have natured their heritage by uniting the spirit of experiment with traditional German expression. This book presents the entwined biographies of three composers who, in this century, have dominated the mainstream development of German music.
