Paul Klee
Klee's work has influenced composers such as Argentinian Roberto García Morillo in 1943, with "Tres pinturas de Paul Klee". Others include the American composer David Diamond in 1958, with the four-part Opus "Welt von Paul Klee" (World of Paul Klee). Gunther Schuller composed "Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee" in the years 1959/60, consisting of "Antique Harmonies", "Abstract Trio", "Little Blue Devil", "Twittering Machine", "Arab Village", "An Eerie Moment", and "Pastorale". The Spanish composer Benet Casablancas wrote "Alter Klang", Impromptu for Orchestra after Klee (2006); Casablancas is author also of the "Retablo on texts by Paul Klee", Cantata da Camera for Soprano, Mezzo and Piano (2007). In 1950, Giselher Klebe performed his orchestral work "Die Zwitschermaschine" with the subtitle "Metamorphosen über das Bild von Paul Klee" at the Donaueschinger Musiktage. "8 Pieces on Paul Klee" is the title of the debut album by the Ensemble Sortisatio, recorded February and March 2002 in Leipzig and August 2002 in Lucerne, Switzerland. The composition "Wie der Klee vierblättrig wurde" (How the clover became four-leaved) was inspired by the watercolor painting "Hat Kopf, Hand, Fuss und Herz" (1930), "Angelus Novus" and "Hauptweg und Nebenwege".
