Mondschatten (Moon Shadow) was written in 2006 to a commission from the Cunz/Ott Duo, and is dedicated to the violinist Rahel Cunz and the percussionist Jacqueline Ott Yesilalp.

After its opening knocking signals, the marimba follows different fragments of a developing line, from whose shadow the violin then frees itself. The composition begins three times before the music is able to advance in an expressive counterpoint. A frenetic dance forms the starting-point of a continuous build-up of virtuosity, dynamics and aggression. Cries of despair. Reconciliation. Reminiscence. Elegy - lamentation. Contemplation.

Mondschatten was inspired by the poem 'Abendland' by Georg Trakl (1887-1914)
