Lichter Hall ('Light Echo'), my second piano trio, was written in 2012 to a commission from the medeA trio, which gave the work's world premiere in the Wigmore Hall in London on October 16th, 2012.

My first piano trio, Schattenspie(ge)l from 2006, is an expansive, multi-movement work, and I have composed my second trio as a compact, one-movement, 'bright' pendant to it. Various impulses draw points of calm in their wake - as if they were echoes - and they develop contantly from an intial hesitance to a flowing motion. The ensuing cantabile passage, which is an echo of my orchestra work Moments lucides, dissolves into a shadowy close. (D.P.H.)
