Museumsstuc ke is how Dieter Schnebel entitled his two collections of experimental music theatre pieces which he sees 'almost as sound images, acoustic counterparts of what is hanging on museum walls'. In the first cycle he refers to different types and genres of pictures, in the second cycle he applies typical working methods of painters such as Marcel Duchamp, Yves Klein, Anselm Kiefer or Mark Rothko to the music.

The initial stimulus for this set of pieces was a painting by Kandinsky, Composition VII (1913). The painting represents a period when he was concerned with emotional, abstract paintings of two sorts: (a) improvisations ('unconscious, spontaneous expression of inner character, the non-material nature' that contain no recognizable objects, but coloured shapes that express feelings) and (b) compositions ('an expression of a slowly formed inner feeling, tested and worked over repeatedly' that include recognizable objects,but ones that have been 'stripped' and 'veiled'). Taking the latter idea as a starting point I began to mould and form a tripartite piece which conveyed the energy and colour from canvas to notes. The movement titles are derived from the number of notes in the note rows for each movement, i.e. “Etude Four†uses a note row made up of four notes.

Born in 1963, Hannu Pohjannoro is widely acclaimed as a composer of quiet, restrained music. It has been said of his music that it seems to have been 'sketched with a sounding quill': Pohjannoro is a composer for whom the magic of different pianissimo shades is of the utmost importance. Though Pohjannoro's aesthetic is distinctly modernist, he nonetheless acknowledges the importance for the compositional process of knowing and understanding musicaltradition. A portrait of Beethoven hangs in his study to remind him that the combination of visceral musical expression and structural strength and clarity is still an ideal to which every composer should strive. Of this work, the composer says: images, hommages is a series of miniature tributes to a number of artists whose works have had a profound effect on me - though, naturally, many other artists could have been included too. I wanted to avoid any form of musical quotation, so from the outset I decided to exclude other composers from the list altogether. As the focus of these miniatures, I therefore selected exponents of abstract art and some of the greatest storytellers of the twentieth century - or, rather, examples of their works. images, hommages presents musical tributes to artists including Albers, Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Pollock, Kafka, Harms, Calvino and Borges. images, hommages was awareded with the second prize at the VIII International Henri Dutilleux Composition Contest in 2017. Each musician will need their own copy of the performances score.
