Waldram Hollfelder (1924-2017): Music for solo flute (1962) with score, played on the clarinet
Waldram Hollfelder was a rather conservatively modern pupil of Darmstadt mastermind Wolfgang Fortner. As a result, also his dodecaphonic compositions always keep in touch with Hindemith tonality, and he would rather speak of “modes“ than of “series“ (just like Messiaen did with his “Mode de valeurs et d’intensités“).
This work, a five-part suite for solo flute, which I transposed down a seventh (notated as a sixth) for the B-flat clarinet, contrasts and combines tonal with dodecaphonically atonal passages.
