Pinning down Trojahn's personal style from these works is tricky, though. The Third Quartet and the Fragmente...are terse, economical, and impressively coherent, most clearly indebted to the Second Viennese School and to Webern especially, but also to the composers who followed in his wake after the second world war. It's sometimes striking and sometimes disconcerting, though the Henschels' performance is always wonderfully assured.
