Hans Werner Henze

Composer of our Time

Concerto

for solo violin and small chamber orchestra (9 solo instruments)

Year of composition: 1943/44

Nine years after the composer's death and 77 years after the composition of "Konzertmusik" ("Concerto") it has been performed for the first time. Originally composed for his fellow students at the Brunswick conservatory, a performance at the time was no more possible because they had been drafted to the army in January 1944.

Handover of the manuscript of Henze's opus1

Concert music of 1944: The manuscript of Hans Werner Henzes opus 1: Concert music for solo violine and small chamber orchestra was handed over by Sibylle Stier to the Hans Werner Henze-Foundation in September 2017. The convocation of the parties to the Labor service and military service in January 1944 had at that time prevented a world premiere.
