Ernst Helmuth Flammer belongs to that generation of composers of the music of the 70s and 80s as idiosyncratic as haunting and multiform pulses owes. Peter Michael Hamel, Peter Ruzicka, Manfred Trojahn, Walter Zimmermann, Anton Plate, Reinhard Febel and Wolfgang Rihm What Flammer connects with this name, is the effort to reflect the compositional changes after 1950 critical and at the same time creatively continue, that is not about unthinking imitation serial and post-serial music nor a radical rejection of them, but the imitation of musical thinking, which itself recently also committed knows how it's open for future developments.
