This
edition contains the
original piano version,
as well as a piano
reduction of the version
for baritone and
Ensemble.The subtitle of
this work dedicated to
Christian Gerhaher, '23
sentences by Nikolaus
Lenau', should be taken
literally: some of the
texts in Heinz Holliger's
setting consist of only a
few words. With
relentless focus on
essential elements, the
texts are a distillation
of the sensation which
has been recorded in
literary history as
'world-weariness'.
Holliger reflects this
concentrated emotion,
presenting the singer and
pianist with the highest
level of technical
demands within an
extremely limited space,
never as an end in itself
but always as means to an
extreme compression of
musical and emotional
expression.
