Wie der Wind in den Dünen
schreib dich ein und
verwisch die Spuren: du wirst
gewesen
sein
Wie der Wind in den Dünen, one of the most programmed string orchestra compositions of modern classical music, is characterised by a distinctive harmonic and rhythmic character, inconspicuous harmonic changes, and precisely graded dynamics. The work shows composer's aversion to overtly imposing own emotional and spiritual agenda on the listener.

Hovering timelessly, its long flowing lines rise and fall with a sense of calm inevitability.
