Composer’s notes

The piano pieces I-V were composed as a present for the 50th birthday of Siegfried Mauser. All pieces together form an unreal, imaginary story that lasts 17 years.

The composition could be continued, therefore the energy of the last piece remains open. The piano pieces are aphoristic thoughts that go by like a breeze. The tension should be kept high between the pieces.
