23-02-2024. Do Snowflakes Get Colder – Alte Schmiede, Wien, Platypus Ensemble.

The first concert in 2024 was with Platypus Ensemble and the premiere of my Piano Trio “Do Snowflakes Get Colder, When They Touch Each Other” as well as another performance of my piano composition “SIEBEN, SINNEN”, interpreted by Jaime Wolfson. I was very grateful for this opportunity. Writing a Piano Trio was a big challenge. Personally, I find it easier to write for less “classical” constellations, but I accept any challenge :). The title for the Piano Trio came to me on the way home in January 2024. Until then I was pretty lost and had no idea how to structure the piece. Then it started snowing and I could "see" the piece. The title is also  a variation of the quote "Do shadows become darker when they touch each other?" from the film "Perfect Days" by Wim Wenders. I saw that movie on New Year's Eve. The piano composition "SIEBEN, SINNEN" is an older work from 2021. It is very structured,  e.g., the left hand is the rhythmic crab of the right hand, etc. pp. I don't know what more to say about it. It is very calm and quiet.
