Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg
(2022)

Composer's notes:

I was particularly touched by Theodor Fontane's beautiful descriptions of his travels through the Brandenburg countryside, after I had spent a very happy summer doing conservation work in the moors and forests there. Back in civilisation, I wrote down my memories of this place in a piano cycle, responding to excerpts from Fontane's text. The key to this work is the theme of memory. The ‘amphitheatres’ of the last movement (the flat, crater-like Brandenburg Ice Age landscape) serve as allusions to the previous movements.
