Der junge Törless, Fantasia für Streichsextett, Stimmensatz

Hans Werner Henze has composed several film scores for Volker Schlöndorff's literary adaptations. 'In 1966 I wrote the music of Volker Schlöndorff's first film Der junge Törless. I then thought the sound of the old early instruments that I chose could be understood as a metaphor for the early immature, almost childishly youthful and endangered of the protagonists of Musil's novella. Later I arranged several pieces from the score for string sextet and even made a string orchestra version of it.' (Hans Werner Henze)
