*Kinderszenen, Op. 1* is a cycle of thirteen poetic character pieces for solo piano. The works unfold a multifaceted soundscape ranging from childlike spontaneity to memory, imagination, and quiet intimacy. At the same time, the cycle draws on the tradition of poetic piano cycles, combining a melodic musical language with subtle tonal differentiation.
The individual pieces:
Of foreign people and countries
On the rocking horse
Hash-man
Curious story
Pale girl
In the butterfly meadow
The dreamer's dream
Ballerina, dancing on a music box
Almost too serious
To the cathedral
Nocturnal fantasies
Sleep well
The poet speaks
The bound score is 28 pages long and includes a foreword by the composer in German and English.
*Children's Scenes, Op. 1* was composed in 2022, has a running time of approximately 24 minutes, and is intended for beginner and advanced pianists, as well as for use in concerts and lessons.
