“The composer Tatjana Prelevic inspired me to compose the “TraumLieder”: in 2005 she led the project “Spreche als Klangbrücke” at the Hanover State University of Music and Drama, in which my songs were rehearsed and premiered by students in the original version for mezzo-soprano and ensemble. I had chosen three short poems about the inner world of women as texts for the songs; they inspired me once again to write this version for voice and piano.”
