I was always interested in musical colours in my pianistic work and also in the basics of other instruments, how they create music, how they understand and create phrasing. The connection of these two themes as well as an understanding of key-characteristics have allowed me to be more versatile as a pianist and as a chamber musician and to always look for this bond to other instruments.

I put this research at the centre of my musical and pedagogic work and try to make sure that art in music stays unbound and is built on a strong scientific foundation. To me that’s what gives compositions life and makes concerts experiences.
