EUGENE HARTZELL: WERKVERZEICHNIS

Eugene Hartzell begann sein Studium bei Hans Erich Apostel im Jahre 1956, bald nach seiner Ankunft in Wien. Er betrachtete seine Studienzeit bei Apostel (1956–62, unterbrochen durch den Militärdienst 1958-60) als Beginn seiner „Arbeit als Komponist“. Aus diesem Grund sind die Werke aus der Zeit vor 1957 eigens am Ende des jeweiligen Hauptteil des Kataloges angeführt.

Die Systematik des Werkverzeichnisses:
