ZEITGEHÖFT
(1976), concept for two pianos, is a mourning music. Here Schneider
writes twenty-two stanzas of temporally and spatially carefully
approached sounds, each flowing into considerable resonances. The work,
commissioned by the Bernische Musikhochschule, is defined as a set of
rules and algorithms and allows for numerable possible performance
versions. It is dedicated to music author Thomas Meyer and was inspired
by the twenty-two words in thirty-three syllables of one latestpoem
from Paul Celans estate ( An die Haltlosigkeiten/sich schmiegen).
STERNSTUNDE
(1985-86), opera in six images,applies imperceptible cyclical changes,
simultaneously related to singing voices, speaking voices, toys and
percussion, as its sole, homogeneously treated material. Besides his
work in pure and rigid composition, especially in the surroundings of
chamber music, Schneider always has been involved with theatre,
language and staging, before realizing his first and probably last
opera, commissioned by the Swiss Radio Corporation, for the present as
a contribution to the,as it seems, forgotten genre of radio opera.
