During the
period in which these
arrangements were
created, Hans Werner
Henze was far from being
a Wagnerite. Despite
this, he deliberately set
out to study Wagner's
music. Tristan und Isolde
was the opera Henze found
most accessible and it
was therefore the
Wesendonck-Lieder, dating
from 1858 with their
clear affinity to the
harmony of Tristan, which
became Henze's focal
point of interest.In his
arrangements he was
aiming 'to evoke the
pre-Tristan state. For
this reason, I have
selected a small ensemble
consisting of seven wind
instruments, two horns,
harp and small string
orchestra to retain the
preliminary study
character of these
Lieder. At the same time
however, I am attempting
to permit the
Tristanesque tone which
is already inherent in
the piano version to
unfold through harmonic
separation.'- Hans Werner
Henze.
