Zimmermann

Japanese: ツィンマーマン

German composer. Born near Cologne. He studied composition while also majoring in philosophy and linguistics. After a break due to conscription, he began composing in earnest after World War II. In 1961, he became a professor at his alma mater, the Cologne School of Music. He was a little older than the generation of postwar composers such as Boulez and Stockhausen, and continued his own unique explorations without joining any particular school. His unique style of composition, which combined various techniques, made him an eclectic side stream during his lifetime, but his diverse works, which inherit Berg's idiom, have been significantly reevaluated in recent years. His opera Die Soldiers (1958-1960, adapted 1963-1964, premiered in 1965), based on a play by J. Lenz, is a unique work that pursues a multi-dimensional time structure by making full use of techniques such as quotation and collage, and is said to be the greatest opera of the post-World War II era. Other works he composed include stage works, ballet music, concertos and orchestral works such as "Antifonen" for viola and small orchestra (1961-1962), "Cello Concerto in the form of Bas de Trois" (1965-1966), one solo sonata each for violin, viola and cello (1951, 1955, 1960), and music for tapes. He became ill and committed suicide.

ドイツの作曲家。ケルン近郊に生まれる。作曲を学ぶ一方で哲学や言語学を専攻し，徴兵による中断をはさんで第２次大戦後に本格的な作曲活動を始めた。1961年，母校のケルン高等音楽学校教授に就任。ブーレーズ，シュトックハウゼンなど戦後作曲界の主流をなす世代よりやや年長で，特定の流派にくみせず独自の探究を続けた。諸技法を織り合わせた特異な作風のため生前は折衷的な傍流とみなされたが，ベルクの語法を継承する多様な作品は近年再評価が著しい。J.レンツの戯曲によるオペラ《兵士たち》（1958年−1960年，改作1963年−1964年，初演1965年）は，〈引用〉や〈コラージュ〉の手法を駆使して多元的な時間構造を追求したユニークな作品で，第２次大戦後のオペラの最高傑作とも評される。ほかに舞台作品やバレエ音楽，ビオラと小オーケストラのための《アンティフォーネン》（1961年−1962年），《バ・ド・トロアの形式によるチェロ協奏曲》（1965年−1966年）ほかの協奏曲や管弦楽曲，バイオリン，ビオラ，チェロのための各１曲の無伴奏ソナタ（1951年，1955年，1960年），テープ音楽などがある。神経を病み自殺。
