The East Berlin composer Paul Heinz Dittrich, who died today, was a moderate modernist who maintained his individuality in the GDR, working with electronics and some serial elements. He was sufficiently trusted by the regime to be allowed to work in the 1980s at Pierre Boulez’s Ircam in Paris.

He worked with three western publishers, Universal Edition, Schott and Wise Music.
