Until his
appointment as
composition teacher at
the Musikhochschule
ofCologne in 1957, Bernd
Alois Zimmermann earned
his living chiefly
byarranging works of
other composers for the
radio. Vier Bearbeitungen
(FourArrangements) for
the Ellegiers Sextet was
written at the WDR in
Cologne at that time.
Zimmermann held the
concertmaster Ellegiers
in high esteem because of
his profound musicality
and arranged about twenty
pieces for his ensemble
between 1949 and 1952.
The three Schubert
arrangements'Sehnsuchtswa
lzer', 'Landler' and
'Moments musicaux', as
well as 'Traumerei' from
Kinderszenen Op. 15 by
Robert Schumann show very
clearly how popular these
works were in the radio
programme of the
broad-casting
station.
Three Ländler
