about

Paul-Heinz Dittrich (b. December 4, 1930 in Gornsdorf) is a German composer. He is one of the most important "middle" generation composers of New Music from the old GDR, coming to prominence in the 1960s and 70s. A composer of orchestral and chamber music, cantatas and songs, Dittrich takes some of his inspiration from literature, especially the poetry of Paul Celan, Sergei Yesenin, Charles Baudelaire, Novalis, Friedrich Hölderlin, TS Eliot and Heiner Müller. He founded the Brandenburg Colloquium of Contemporary Music in 1991, is a member of the Akademie der Künste Berlin, and was a professor of composition at the University of Music "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin until 2006. His works include the Sonata for Violin and Piano (1954), Les fleurs de Baudelaire (1969), Areae Sonantes for Orchestra (1972), Die Verwandlung nach Franz Kafka (1982), Hymnischer Entwurf für Orchester (1985), Incidental music for the Bride of Messina (1989), String Trio (1993/94), Der Glücklose Engel nach H. Müller (1995), Zerbrochene Bilder nach H. Müller (1998/99), and the Concerto for Clarinet and Chamber Ensemble (2002).
