Domenico Gabrielli
Jan Werner
Michael Rauter

«The 7 Ricercari by Domenico Gabrielli belong to the first pieces for cello solo, written in 1689. „Fetzen“ is a cycle of 19 short pieces for Cello and Tape by Jan St Werner and myself. Jan made a series of short sound structures that are based on my cello sounds. I wrote cello parts for each of them. One piece is about 1 min. long.» Mr. Rauter.
