Five years
after the first, I set
out to write a second
sonata for the guitar I
loved. And not only in
order to be able to keep
the overall title of the
cycle (which is hereby
closed), with its clear
relation to Richard III,
but also because of my
attachment to
Shakespeare's characters,
or at least some of them,
whose musical portrait I
also want to make in of
the second sonata, which
was formed in a
completely different way,
felt compelled to do so.
Aguecheek (Bleichenwang)
is one of my favorite
characters when I was a
student in Braunschweig.
Perhaps it was not only
Shakespeare, but also the
director and the
Bleichenwang of a
production in the theater
there, around 1943, that
caused me not to miss a
performance of it. -
Hans-Werner Henze
Includes preface by
editor in English,
German, French.
