Bernfried E.G. Prove's music thrives on the adventure of surging forward to new compositional horizons and thereby achieving a highly personal response to the musical currents of our times. With a special fondness for spectral harmonies, Prove gives audible form to multi-layered vistas by adopting techniques that allow him to probe the "deep structure" of music. Whether he applies geometrical formulae from radiation physics as a means of shaping the proportions, density and form of his works, whether he bases their design on rhetorical patterns or the Golden Section, or whether he oversteps and even suspends the bounds of the humanly playable (as in his "Salto" for piano solo), the result is always music of extraordinary expressive power and superbly nuanced color.
