- Summary:
- 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.
