Waldram Hollfelder (1924 2017): Music for solo flute (1962) with score, played on the clarinet

Waldram Hollfelder was a rather conservatively modern pupil of Darmstadt mastermind Wolfgang Fortner. As a result, also his dodecaphonic compositions always keep in touch with Hindemith tonality, and he would rather speak of modes than of series (just like Messiaen did with his Mode de valeurs et d intensités ). This work, a fivepart suite for solo flute, which I transposed down a seventh (notated as a sixth) for the Bflat clarinet, contrasts and combines tonal with dodecaphonically atonal passages.
