The "Waldbilder" are five scenes of different character, held together by a common basic mood: the titles of the movements can be interpreted both associatively and directly programmatically, dependin...

A Möbius strip is a figure that leads back into itself, so that the whole strip has only one side and one edge: there is no top and no bottom, no inside and outside. Since its discovery, the Möbius st...

The 'blue land' around the Staffelsee in the Upper Bavarian Alpine foothills, between Murnau and the Loisachtal, shines in enchanted shades of a wonderful blue, especially in autumn: the mountains are...

Interesting Times - what can "interesting" not mean everything: exciting times, challenging times, exciting times in a positive sense ... Or is it really the phrase "May You Live in Interesting Times"...

Johann Gottlieb Goldberg had to play Bach's "Goldberg Variations" night after night to his employer Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk, so that he could "be cheered up a little in his sleepless nights". It'...

It's time to move on, it's time to leave, it's time to find something new... A short piece about the new beginning.

William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the source for this song cycle. The moon, fate, love and the fairy are personifications of an archaic world for which Shakespeare found eternal wor...

An episode from the life of Pierrot? From an almost unreal beginning, a steadily building continuum of movement develops, oscillating between "painful" and "dance-like", insisting on its relentless pr...

Cranach malt einen >Jungbrunnen'': von links kommen die Alten, sie scheinen müde, werden gefahren und getragen. In der Mitte ist der Brunnen, eine Art viereckiger Whirlpool mit einem Springbrunnen, in...

The chorale "Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit" is one of the oldest songs of the Reformation in its unconditional trust in God. The melody by Claudin de Sermisy, originally associated with a se...

The formation known as the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula, 7000 light years away, stretches four light years into space. Protostars made of molecular hydrogen and dust form at its tips. Hyd...
