“Wolfgang Rihm will be remembered as the creator of musical works with countless levels of meaning. I was particularly touched personally by the wonderful and humorous conversations with this eloquent polymath, who until the end showed a deep interest in his fellow human beings and was always aware of his own role model and cultural-political responsibility. With Wolfgang Rihm, not only Universal Edition but the entire contemporary music world is losing an important key figure.”
