Eislerquartett (2004) after Joseph Haydn and Hanns Eisler

for string quartet

The second movement from Joseph Haydn's "emperor's quartet" is re-composed in such way, that not "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" is varied, but "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" by Hanns Eisler, that means not the present national anthem of the Federal Republic of Germany, but the one of the former German Democratic Republic.

Echokanon (2005) after Orlando di Lasso

for one instrument and live-electronic


Deconstructing M. (2006) on the occasion of W. A. Mozart's 250th bithday
for four instruments

One of the best-known pieces by Mozart is deconstructed that way, only one parameter is given in each case (dynamic, pitch, rhythm or harmony). The remaining parameters are improvised.
