COMPOSER OF CONTEMPORARY
MUSIC
My comtemporary music has Afro-American roots but at the same time
is influenced by various 20th Century composers. Ives, Varese, Ginastera,
Bartok, Scriabin, Sorabji, Stravinsky, Gershwin and Bernstein, just
to mention a few.
As a pianist I have written until now 51 sonatas and
6 piano concertos. Recently I have written for Fred Wesley, based on
a 21 bar fugue, a
16 minute orchestral variation. In Cologne on the 30th of April, 2005
the premiere of my 8th Symphony was heard, under the direction of Michael
Willens and the Damals and Heute, Orchestra on WDR Radio.
On the 19th of May, 2007 the SüdDeutsche Philharmonie of Constance and my Quartet played the premiere of my Hard Bop Concerto for Jazz Quartet and Orchestra. As well on September 15th, 2007 my Suite for Danton's Tod for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra was premiered with the Würzburg Philharmonic and Choir with Ulrich Pakusch as conductor.
