These works are by composers who lived and worked in East Germany during the four decades of its existence. Günter Kochan, best known for his symphonic compositions, wrote an admired Concertino in 1964 that fuses succinctness with neo-Classical influence. Gisbert Näther's Concerto (2007) is characterised by teasing, fugitive gestures of a stylistically and technically diverse yet coherent nature. Siegfried Matthus's is a striking example of his mature idiom in its use of serial elements.
