One of the eminent European music-composers of the 20th century, Hans Werner Henze passed away on Oct.27 at the age of 86. He was certainly the most important and well-known German composer since Karlheinz Stockhausen. Apart from German classical music, Henze is also influenced by Italian music, Arabic music, rock and jazz. His varied style (serialism) and political leanings , Henze can be aptly called Salil Chowdhury of Europe.
