Alfred Schnittke in Hamburg
View through CrossRef
He was a crosser on both a stylistic and personal level: the German-Russian-Jewish composer Alfred Schnittke (1934–1998) chose Hamburg as the new centre of his life in 1990, but remained connected to his old home in Moscow and travelled extensively. In the artistic environment of the Hanseatic city, Schnittke developed immense productivity despite severe health impairments. This phase is of particular music-historical interest from both a biographical and a compositional point of view and is the focus of this volume. Individual analytical studies look for the characteristics of a "late work" and signs of a changed compositional identity.
