The first performance of my “opus 1”, written under the tutelage of Wolfgang Fortner, immediately brought me a contract with Schott in Mainz which led to life-long partnership. This juvenile piece clearly shows the state of my artistic development at that time which depended greatly on the German modernism of my father generation.
