Movement 1 - Allegro Vivace
* A playful game of Hide and Seek

Clarinet Sonata #1 Mov 1 "Hide and Seek"

Young emerging Neo-classical composer Niklas Fischer - "my music communicates something to us which words cannot. It is a more direct way of invoking specific emotions and kindling our imagination."
Composer talks about his work: "This piece was inspired by a friend's drafts for a fantasy novel. The protagonist has a premonition that the world she knows is in great peril and sees herself riding out to warn it against coming danger. This vision is repeated before she suddenly wakes up, and in the silence that follows she first thinks it was all just a dream until two dark chords remind her of what she must do. With its brooding atmosphere, the piece can be seen as an étude/study in the buildup of tension."

Piano Concerto No.1 in G minor

Einojuhani Rautavaara - Passionale
Einojuhani Rautavaara is the leading Finnish composer of his generation (born 1928). His late style combines modernism with mystical romanticism. A typical example of this style, the solo piano work Passionale was premiered in 2003.

Einojuhani Rautavaara - Passionale

This is a short piano sonata in the Classical style dedicated to my mother for her 70th birthday.
It consists of three movements in the following sequence

1. Allegro scherzando (Sonata-allegro form) 
2. Andante semplice (varied ABABA form) 
3. Presto amabile (Five part Rondo form)

The Jane Austen sonata began its life as a Lied ohne Worte (the second movement) inspired by music from the movies of Jane Austen's books, hence the title.
To this I added what was originally intended as an opening movement to a never completed violin sonata and thought that I'd call it a two movement sonatina.
But as my Mother's 70th birthday was coming up I thought that I'd give her a special gift and composed the Rondo finale based on three themes spelling out the musical cipher of her three names (Ingrid Eleonora Unger) and so the sonata was complete.
In fact the last revisions where made as late as the morning of her birthday!

This is my string quartet in d minor.
The name Ave Maria comes from a short quotation of my song Ave Maria in the middle of the second movement.
It consists of three movements:

1. Allegro poco drammatico
2. Allegretto - Andante - Allegretto
3. Allegro molto agitato - Tempo di marcia - Allegro molto agitato

The score has been published by Gusthold Music Publisher and can be found here:

The String quartet in d minor started as an example on the white board during a lecture on part writing for strings. The white board example can still be heard unchanged as the first eight bars of the second movement.
The eight bars then turned into a full movement as I was teaching contrasts and how to possibly build upon a first material.
To that movement I later added the first and third movements to create a complete work for the school's string quartet.
Since the students were all rather early in their development all parts are written completely in first position on all instruments.
In May 2020 the work was published by Gusthold Music Publisher in USA.
