“I worked on Musik für Piano solo in 2017 and 2019. If one wishes to find an extramusical theme in the piece, it could be described as evanescence, or the coming to be, change, and passing of all phenomena. One can find this theme on various levels: in the overarching structure of the work’s seven movements, in each movement itself, and in the individual musical forms. As a composer, I am pleased that the premiering pianist was also first to record the work, and that on such a wonderful instrument as the F278 by Fazioli.” - C. René Hirschfeld
