The investigation of new structures of sound, the flowability of a ' Barockische ' way to stylize the sentences, the mobility of his characters, and his love of the human voice and precise dramatic narrative effects have been cherishes all the emersion of a new kind of theatrical sound not only in his works, but also across and beyond its strict musical discourse ..
