Jens Brockmeier, a long-time colleague of Henze's, has now published an introduction to help readers better understand the work and life of this grand master of modern music. This is not another musicological work, but rather a comprehensive essay: a sophisticated portrait of the committed musician, writer and theatre director, written not only for insiders, which places overarching themes and lines of development in his music in the context of the social circumstances during and after the Nazi regime, circumstances in which Henze grew up and which shaped him and his music.
