Composing interesting and emotional piano solo music has always been a special challenge for me. As someone who’s been playing the piano many years, deciding on the right techniques and harmonies from the almost endless palette can be very difficult. 👀

But I believe I‘ve found a way that works for me: I‘m composing my first piano sonata!
It will include a notoriously percussive Prelude, an obscure Fugue as well as two dance movements for which I haven’t got a title yet.

Let’s see where this journey takes me!!! 🎹🎹🎹

This Wednesday, my first orchestral composition, „Das Geheimnis“, dedicated to the German-Jewish artist Felix Nussbaum, was premiered by the Harz Symphony Orchestra in Halberstadt (Sachsen-Anhalt).
I‘m grateful for the invitation to the workshop and for the good cooperation!

As a consequence of this premiere, the orchestra commissioned a new piece from me - scheduled to be performed this October! I‘m truly looking forward to it!

Schubert • Violin Sonata No. 3 • Andante • Alexander Polinskiy, Anna Alenitsyna-Herber

Shostakovich • Five Pieces for two violins and piano • Prelude • Prof. Luz Leskowitz, Alexander Polinskiy, Anna Alenitsyna-Herber

It was an honor to participate in this concert and to play these gorgeous pieces together with such a distinguished musician as Luz.

I believe that maintaining a sense of humor is essential for any composer — and even more so, finding ways to weave that humor into the music itself.

When I mentioned to a friend that I was working on a new piece for trumpet and French horn, she suggested I write about the German postal system - a service that, while being quite reliable, is not without some peculiar quirks.

I instantly supported the idea. Now I’m very proud to present the finished composition full of satirical and comical elements, which will receive its premiere this May in New York.

Violin sonatas seem to have become the main focus of my musical year.

After a professor encouraged me to engage more with sonatas - especially the Mozart Sonatas, a great journey of discovery started. It began with a Mozart Sonata, followed by a Schubert Sonatina (a title he chose, perhaps, out of modesty as it is a full-scale sonata) and now I’m practicing a Beethoven Sonata. The next milestone would be to revisit Debussy‘s splendid Violin Sonata, and maybe, if the circumstances will be right, to learn Ravel‘s Second Sonata - a jazz-influenced masterpiece I always wanted to play.
This would make for a compelling concert program…

As I delve deeper into classical and early romantic repertoire, I keep discovering new colors my violin can produce which is surely of the most thrilling aspects of this instrument.

Simultaneously, I’m preparing an extensive piano program for a solo recital which will take place in Hamburg this autumn. It will be an exciting concert, featuring - as is tradition - a premiere of one of my own works. More on that soon!

And the compositional work continues steadily! In May, my „Ode“ to the German postal service, written for trumpet and french horn, will be performed in New York. The premiere of the first part of „Das Geheimnis“ for symphony orchestra will take place on May 7th in Halberstadt, Sachsen-Anhalt.

I hope to be able to record a new art song for mezzo-soprano and piano in the next weeks. The origin of this composition is quite funny as it derived from a school assignment that I may have taken a bit too seriously (something that happens to me, don’t ask where the energy comes from…). Stay tuned for the recording!
