Short Scene (1993)

Instrumentation: for flute solo

A dialogue of varying musical characters. It is left to the fantasy of the performers to give this piece an abstract, imaginary "plot". Suitable for didactical purposes.

Transitio (1994)

Instrumentation: for orchestra (2.2.2.2/2.2.0.0/1perc/pf/8.6.4.4.3)

This is a walk through the chamber music-like sound world produced by the instruments of the orchestra within a strict continuously moving sound meshwork. The strings behave soloistic for long stretches. The conductor must have a love of detail. It served as the compulsory piece for the 1995 Besançon Conducting Competition.

Interplay (1995)

Instrumentation: for instrumental ensemble (fl(afl).bcl.hn/perc/hp/vn.va.db)

The conductor directs the core group of the ensemble (bass clarinet, percussion, harp, viola). The other instruments are cued in and have to choose short fragments from a given collection, in any order. A kaleidoscopic display of refined sounds unfolds.
