Fünf kleine Stücke für Oboe (Saxophon) und Klavier

1. Seerosen / 2. Iris / 3. Freesien / 4. Hyazinthen / 5. Amaryllis

The 5 little Pieces are miniatures inspired by observing nature more specially flowers. They are intended as a cycle, but can also be played in any selection or sequence. They were composed in one go - apart from the latecomer "Freesien". During the composition process there were comprehensive talks with the dedicate, Harald Hörth, concerning oboe technique etc.; the finishing touches were applied after several performances we gave together. The pieces were already performed at concerts, class recitals and diploma examinations at the Music University. (Reinhard Amon)
