A whole series of new compositions have been written during the past year and a half. You can find more information about them here:

Metaphysical Jazz op. 22q bis (2019/20) consists of twelve pieces for solo accordion and is dedicated to Alfred Melichar. A performance of the fifth and sixth pieces from the cycle can be heard in a live stream on March 21, 2021.The concert will be available until April 11th. 

... von dieser Sterneinsamkeit zu jener Sterneinsamkeit ... op. 22q ter [… from this solitude of the stars to that solitude of the stars …] (2019) for solo harp is an arrangement of the fourth piece from Metaphysical Jazz. It was written for Gabriele Mossyrsch, who already premiered it on January 19, 2020.

The short Invention en bleu pour piano op. 22q après quinquies (2020) was created as a contribution to an as of yet unfinished YouTube video that addresses the question: "What is an invention?"

The Pensées op. 22q quater (2019/20) are two interrelated cycles of ultra-short miniatures: the first cycle (A) for violin and piano left hand, the second cycle (B) for "piano three hands", that is, for piano for twohands and piano left hand on the same instrument.

A new piece was also added to the Studies for Strings op. 27: a study for string trio entitled »Atemlose Beklemmung« ["Breathless Anxiety"] op. 27 III C Nr. 1 (2021). It was written under the impression of TV images showing the invasion of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. by American right-wing extremists and fascists on 6 January 2021.

The very recently completed Evoluzioni op. 22q septies (2020/21) are six pieces for Hungarian cimbalom and string quartet.
