Work


The compositions of Rosenmann – for piano, voice, chamber ensemble and also stageplay – were performed by renowned interprets. Often in his works gestic, lyric and musical aspects are liaised. Therein «an increasing formulation of the visible in the music ist announced» (S. F., Encyclopedia KDG, 1997). «For Mauricio Rosenmann's text production the junctim of scripture/language and its graphic realisation is central.» (Stefan Fricke). [1] He is «a brilliant renovator, who plays with sounds and words eliciting them illuminating nuances and meanings.» (Antonio Skármeta). [2] «Sharpening the sense of looking and hearing we perceive something coming from far away and pointing into future.» (Eugen Gomringer). [2]
