R.W.

”R.W. - Nachzeichnung for piano” is a part of the complete work ”ZWEI ÜBERMALUNGEN” for large orchestra premiered by the Hamburg Philharmonic under the composer's direction on 17 November 2013 at the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg. The remarkable thing about ”ZWEI ÜBERMALUNGEN” is that two essentially independent works are placed in relation to each other. The second work ”ÜBER UNSTERN” refers to Liszt's late piano work ”Unstern! Sinistre, disastro” from the year 1885; the subtitle ”R.W.” is an homage to Richard Wagner. The pianist Sophie-Mayuko Vetter performed the world premiere of Peter Ruzicka‘s ”R.W.” in a version for piano solo on 27 June 2014 during the course of the ”Gezeitenkonzerte” in Emden.
