Description: The op. 6 and op. 12 songs are Hauer's last works before his discovery of his own, personal twelve-tone compositional technique; the rest of the works here have no tempo or dynamic indications and the songs do not attempt to illustrate the texts. The vastness of the area open to interpretation of these pieces is addressed in a separate essay by the tenor and some of Hauer's practically unintelligible, metaphysical instructions for interpretation are also included in the notes. German texts. Holger Falk (tenor), Steffen Schleiermacher (piano).
