NÖN Niederösterreichische Nachrichten (p. 38, Triestingtal): „Tiefe Trauer um Harry“
Obituary in the Triesting valley edition on the day of the funeral: Pepl shaped Austrian jazz nationally and internationally like hardly anyone else and created a jazz idiom that can be called European. It mentions Benny Goodman, Dave Holland, Dino Saluzzi, Dave Liebman and Mino Cinelu, instant and real-time composing, and the lying in state, requiem and burial in Hernstein; the paper wrongly gives his age as 61.
He shaped and influenced Austrian jazz, nationally and internationally, like hardly anyone else.
Harry Pepl shaped a jazz idiom which, in its uncompromising direction and its phrasing in waves over a steady pulse, can be called European.
The only thing essential for the synthesis of the temporal and the timeless to succeed is the fulfilled moment!
On Real-time Composing, quoted in the obituary in the NÖN, the regional weekly of Lower Austria, December 2005
