program notes





Each of the Drei Stücke (Three Pieces) is inspired by and named after a line from poems by Rainer Maria Rilke. These lines (Lines of the Angels' Dance, Smoke from Every Roof, Raising Well-Rested Hands) are windows through which the poems and my music meet.

(Stefan Hakenberg, 1994)
