KLAGENDE LIED, DAS - IN FULL SCORE

A precocious, strikingly original piece begun when the composer was just 17 and completed three years later. Of special note - the simultaneous use of onstage and offstage orchestras during the final scene in which a wind ensemble plays festive music in the wings while death and destruction dominate the action on stage. New text translation, glossary, and instrumentation by Stanley Appelbaum.
