Hans Erich Apostel

Apostel studied with Schoenberg and Berg. He was honored often for his compositional function, including the Main Austrian State Reward in 1952 as well as the Main Monaco Composition Reward in 1968. He began like a lyrically Intimate composer and advanced through atonal expressionism to complete serialism. His Paralipomena dodekaphonika can be an exemplory case of his later on work. Apostel thought in a link between music as well as the visible arts and frequently attempted to translate pictures into music in his compositions. The original notation for his items were frequently visual in character and these sketches included all the components necessary for an entire composition.
