Today is release day of the first single 'march' from my new album 'the year' - the inspiration to compose an album about the different months of the year goes back to the German female composer Fanny Hensel (1805-1847). She was the older sister of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and stood in the shadow of her famous brother all her life, as it was socially undesirable in the 19th century for a female composer to come to the fore - so even some of her works were published under the name of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Fanny Hensel composed her cycle 'The Year' in 1841 - 12 virtuoso and impressive works.
My 12 compositions from 'the year' reflect calm and peace in our uncertain times - they are intended to help the listener find their way back to themselves and gain their own strength from within.
The release dates on all worldwide streaming platforms are as follows:
March 22: march
April 12: april
May 3: may
May 24: june
July 5: july
August 2: august
August 16: album release
I wish you all much joy and listening pleasure!

The U.S. American ‚Richmond Ballet‘ performed the acclaimed world premiere ‚Jahreszeiten‘, which musically consisted of Oestlind‘s Piano Sonatas in 2021. Twelve other performances followed.
