Composer’s notes
For the Schauspiel Frankfurt I composed music for the piece “Winter: Ein Deutschlandmärchen”. The texts are written by Heinrich Heine and should have been sung live with the recorded music, consisting of seven songs. For that purpose, the musicians of the network opus21musikplus have recorded the theatre music with me. Nevertheless, the piece was never premiered due to technical reasons.
