I was born in Frankfurt. My dad had fled Hungary in 1956. I started playing the piano at the age of 9 and later added drums. Today I work at SWR Baden-Baden. In the recent few turbulent years, I often sat down at the piano again in the evenings and played my old pieces from my student years to come down. That’s how this album came about.
*The title goes back to the well-known infant researcher Daniel Stern: I played a few pieces as part of the program of a psychological conference in Dreieich. Daniel Stern was sitting in the audience and asked if the last composition had a name. It didn’t yet. Stern suggested Study in Brown.
