Trio for violin, viola and cello (UA, 2022): Is it a dream or reality ? Or is reality a dream in which we find ourselves?

Based on these considerations, the trio describes fragmentary sound structures and dream sequences that alternate or shift into one another.

Dietmar Kirchner

“The interesting question for me is always how my music relates to reality - whether it refers to it, depicts it, shows it or it transformed and takes responsibility.” (D.K.)

“Winterspelt” is the compositional examination of the novel of the same name by Stefan Andres. It is an attempt to address fiction in the form of a composition for string quartet. The atmosphere and mood of the novel is translated into music.

The novel itself deals with the experiences of the civilian population during the war. It shows how war affects people's lives on a personal and social level.

Precious (Environmental) Worlds (2024) UA, funding from the BMKÖS

Inspired and fascinated by two books from the field of biology, I would like to With this new work I want to draw attention to the sensitive environment in which we live and on which we depend.

The work is dedicated to life in the forests, primarily to birds, as a social one living beings. Some bird species can even produce complex melodies and calls that they sing to each other. These songs are not only used for communication, but also for courtship and wooing a partner. My piece is based on transcriptions of mostly exotic bird songs. The four instruments are not treated as a compact sound body, but are grouped in two pairs: violin I with violin II, viola with cello.
