Britten
'In the process of composition his imaginative " inner ear is listening, all the time and at full stretch, to what he is doing: I feel tolerably sure that his ideas never occur to him as anything but sheer sensuous sound, and that it is to this fact that they owe the force and freshness with which they strike the listener's ear.'
(DESMOND SHAWE TAYLOR )

The arts in West Germany since 1945
How have West German writers, artists and musicians responded to the experience of building a new society? What does it mean to be a German today? How have Germans come to terms with their past? Is the mood one of resignation, responsibility or further revolt? Richard Mayne reflects on these questions with, among others, novelists Heinrich Roll, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972, and Uwi Johnson, the poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger, the film director, Volker Schlondorff, this year's winner of the Cannes Grand Prix for his version of Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum, the composers Mauricio Kagel and ARI-BERT REIMANN and the artist Josef Beuys.
