I originally composed "collections" for piano solo to participate at the Mauricio Kagel composition competition 2012, which had the task to write a roughly 10 minute long piano piece suitable for young students to introduce them to contemporary music and extended playing techniques (playing inside the piano, dampening strings with the hands, using mallets/jazz brushes/ping pong balls, etc.). ![]()
My composition was eventually not selected for the competition, and it laid in my proverbial drawer for a couple of years.
Finally, in 2018, thanks to Ambitus-Gruppe für Neue Musik, my piece could be world premiered by the wonderful and amazing Kaori Nishii, who also teaches at the University of Music & Performing Arts Vienna and is an expert in contemporary repertoire. ![]()
Enjoy!
