Hohensee Tried In His Compositions To Find A Compromise Between Comprehensibility Relation To The Audience And Artistry. New Composition Techniques Stand Next To The Familiar. Especially In His Early Works He Used Tonal Bonds But Also Dodecaphony And Aleatory. Therefore His Work Is Characterized By A Rather Large Stylistic Variety. As Early As The Early 1950s For Example He Experimented With Twelve-Tone Technique In His Piano Sonatina While A Work Written Ten Years Later Such As The Concert Piece For Piano And Orchestra Was Largely Based On 19th-Century Music. Often A Neoclassical Tone Can Also Be Heard. Hohensee Wrote Many Works Whose Degree Of Difficulty Took Into Account The Possibilities Of Non-Professional Music-Making. A Special Focus Of His Work Was On Film Music.
