    Domenico Giuseppe Scarlatti (1685-1757) devoted himself to a single form like no other composer before him. The more than 550 mostly single-movement sonatas for the harpsichord influenced numerous composers throughout the ages, from his contemporary Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin to 21st-century artists such as Georg Katzer. The four selected sonatas K 27, K 213, K 247 and K 268 represent only a small selection of his immensely varied oeuvre and yet they illuminate all the different aspects of his extraordinarily creative composing. Scarlatti himself modestly described many of his sonatas as "Essercizi per gravicembalo". His sonata works contain every conceivable technical challenge, as he himself was one of the most sought-after and virtuoso harpsichordists of his time. Georg Katzer (1935-2019) composed the Five Miniatures in 1971. They are primarily to be understood as gestural music. Although the playing technique is traditional with a few exceptions (the use of the elbows or rolling hands), the miniatures reveal a wealth of ideas in musical forms of expression that evoke the most diverse sensations in a short space of time and space. The work Due to my admiration for D.S. was composed by Georg Katzer in 2001. The close relationship between Fanny Hensel (1805-1847) and her brother Felix Mendelssohn encouraged both siblings throughout their musical careers. And yet, throughout her life, Fanny Hensel fought for even remotely similar recognition of her extraordinary talent as a pianist, conductor and composer. The Four Songs for Pianoforte, Opus 2, are among the few works published by Bote & Bock in 1846 during Fanny Hensel's lifetime.

    The versatility of the composer Georg Katzer documented this CD. The "Open Landscape with obbligato tone e", a one-movement orchestral piece leads, consistently before tensions; she does not cease to always create new sources of conflict. The play "come and go" is the result of productive interaction between the wind association Berlin (wind quintet and piano) and composer. Katzer spent here it's specially developed "modes technique" which allows sounds that is beyond the scope closely layered chords and allows a wealth of nuances. "Imaginary dialogue 4 'breathing' 'is an interplay between the breathing players, his tone (bass clarinet) and what returns from the speaker and strikes back at the starting point of the noise and tone. The "String Quartet no. 3" in 1988 premiered by the Arditti String Quartet is full of diversity and the fissures of the quartet sound, as we know it since Anton Webern's Op. 5. The piece bears - so Katzer - traces the ups and downs of subjective moods. And finally "De Musica" can be interpreted as a biting musical treatise that will teach to adopt a critical attitude in sovereign affairs of the music.
