„vergossen und vergessen“: ​orchestral episodes with solo intermezzi by woodwind instruments
​Written under the impression of the cabaret programme "Wie man revoluzzt und dabei doch Lampen putzen: Songs and Texts from the Time of Munich Bohemia (1890-1914)". The driving force behind this project was the former general music director of the Staatskapelle Weimar, Heinz Peter Finger.

​From the programme text for the premiere:  
After the still ongoing reflection on the theme of the Bohème programme, the idea of the interlocking orchestral episodes with their solo woodwind intermezzi developed at that time, into which the still present impressions of emotional alternations, contradictions as well as memories of the quarrels, affairs, discussions between "life artists, revolutionaries, aesthete circles, social reformers and militant journalists" were allowed to flow. The subject matter was and has always remained topical for me. A passage from Otto Julius Bierbaum's (1865-1910) text "Des Musterknaben kläglich Lied" also gave the composition its title: "vergossen und vergessen".
