Lachenmann - Ein Kinderspiel (1980) (with score)

Helmut Lachenmann's 7 short pieces are untypical of his output, written in a very simple style for his 6-year-old daughter, and premiered by his 7-year-old son. They are built from very basic gestures, which a child would likely explore spontaneously given free rein at (and around) the keyboard. Piano: Helmut Lachenmann 1. Hänschen klein 0:07 2.
