For Piano, 4 Hands. The Return of the Three Magi is very pictorial music. It begins at night, in mysterious darkness in a barren Spanish landscape. The camels lazily shuffle along the road. The light gradually changes, dawn breaks, Seville comes into sight, getting closer and closer, initially just a silhouette, then individual houses. The anticipation builds, there are expectations of a long,...

Score and one (viola) part I composed the Fantasie for viola and piano in February and March 1994 as homage to Bartók and Ravel, these two very opposite kinds of heroes and pioneers of the Early Modern era. For me, this time is the most aesthetically interesting and productive in recent music history – from Stravinsky’s Firebird to Ravel’s piano concert. I believe these aesthetics ended...

I believe these aesthetics ended prematurely during the twelve-tone revolution: in the long run, the...

I didn’t learn “Von fremden Ländern” in a piano lesson or a concert hall, but rather as music in the 1979 film Der Mörder with Olschewski and Westernhagen. In this morbid thriller, Schumann’s music displayed an unbelievable force, and has been stuck in my head ever since. I wrote the 12 variations very quickly in 1988; they are my greatest ever composition, which continues to be remain close to...

I composed L’Aventure in 1992. It is a collection of four piano pieces for children, dedicated to Ravel when he was still a child. It is commonly known that Ravel’s pieces are impossible for younger pupils to play. L’Aventure is specifically written for the small hands I had as a child, in the impressionist harmonies I loved even then. I tried to express as much as possible as simple as is...
