New Version 1994-Symphony No. 6 was created in the late 1960s and was first performed in Havana on 26. November 1969 by the Cuban National Orchestra under my direction. This symphony reflects not only the excited atmosphere of awakening during those years but also my efforts to include in the composition the large number of new human and artistic stimuli that I experienced at that time. So the banjo starts to play a Vietnamese song of freedom (Stars in the Night) later the first bars of Mikis Theodorakis hymn of freedom is heard.The second movement is based on the poem Fe de erratas (errata sheet) by Miguel Barnet. In the original version the three parts of the symphony merge withoutinterruption. In the revised version I separated them to make it easier for the audience to register the caesuras which are also internal caesuras as regards content. Apart from strengthening the string sound the most significant alternation in comparison to the first version is that I fully composed all of the aleatoric passages and pitches which originally were to be freely improvised as was the fashion at that time. Thus I wanted to free them the realm of chance and indeterminacy and to bring them back into my artistic control.- Hans Werner Henze

Bei der Neuschrift des Stucks im Winter 1995-96, funfzig Jahre nach seiner Entstehung (als Buhnenmusik zu Molieres Comedie ballet Georges Dandin, aus der anschliessend ein Ballett wurde mit dem englischen Clown Jack Pudding in der Titelrolle), ist es mir darum gegangen, den alten Notentext auszulosen und sein thematisches und harmonisches Material nach Kriterien zu ordnen und zu entwickeln, die mir seinerzeit noch nicht zur Verfugung standen, und die recht skizzenhafte Anlage des Urtexts in eine Klangwelt heruberzutragen, die meinen heutigen Vorstellungen und Wertbegriffen von Theater und Musik entspricht und die gleichzeitig das heutige kulturelle Klima Neapels widerspiegelt und damit eine besondere Art von Wirklichkeit, die mich einmal so sehr gefangengenommen, bezaubert und beeinflusst hat.- Hans Werner Henze: 1 (auch Picc.) * 1 * 1 * 1 - 1 * 1 * 1 * 0 - P.

Hans Werner Henze, adhering to his intentions as a composer and teacher, had already made provision for participation by a ,banda' of amateur musicians in the original version of his arrangement of Giovanni Paisiello's Don Chisiotte (1769) which was given its first performance in 1976 at the first Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano. The movements contained in the opera were combined in a suite. Norbert Studnitzky has arranged the pieces for wind band in the orchestration which is internationally recognized. It is sonorous, freshly conceived old music for bands at lower advanced level.Picc. * 2 * 1 * Engl. Hr. (ad lib.) * Es-Klar. * 3 * Altklar. (ad lib.) * Bassklar. * 2 Altsax. * Tenorsax. * Baritonsax.
