Flötenmusik aus Siebenbürgen
Excerpts from the booklet:
...Waldemar von Baußnern was born in 1866. His ancestors had held important positions in church and social life since the 17th century. After studying music in Berlin, he worked as head of the music department of the Academy of Arts and as composition teacher at the Academy of Church Music in Berlin.
With his three-movement flute suite from 1924, Baußnern wanted - as he writes in the foreword - to expand the home music repertoire for this instrument, but both the technical and musical requirements are far beyond the possibilities of amateur music-making. Stylistically, the work is based on the late romanticism of Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Max Reger, and is repeatedly reminiscent of the colorful ornamentation of Art Nouveau...
...One of the most versatile and interesting personalities in Transylvanian cultural history is a generation younger, Heinrich Neugeboren (Henri Nouveau). He was born in 1901 in Kronstadt, but he attended high school in Budapest, where his interest in Hungarian folk music arose. Despite several attempts, this idiosyncratic and critical spirit was no longer at home in the narrow confines of Transylvania. At the age of twenty, he moved to Berlin and studied piano and composition at the music academy. As early as 1923, he began to paint abstractly. In 1925, he continued his studies with Nadja Boulanger in Paris and settled there permanently in 1929. (Wolfgang Meschendörfer)
