Commissioned by Leopold-Mozart-Kuratorium Augsburg e.V. as partner of the Augsburg University in cooperation with the Mozartbüro of the City of Augsburg “Anthologies were important during Leopold Mozart's lifetime. All knowledge was to be collected and made available, and Mozart's 'Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule' (A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing) is also to be regarded in this context. My 'Florilegium' (the Latin word for 'Anthology' – 'Blossom Collection') follows this tradition. I thus collected more or less loose 'blossoms': individual turns of phrase and gestures from Leopold Mozart's Violin Treatise, as well as from books that include the extended techniques of violin playing in use today. I attempted to organize this 'blossom collection' – in a double sense of word – during the course of the compositional process and to transfer them into my own language. Ultimately the idea was to create an album piece that would allow the sound of the violin to blossom in its various facets ... including prickly thorns!†(Johannes X. Schachtner).

“A fragment can develop an enormous power of attraction for a composer, for the empty spaces create room for speculation and present incomplete ideas. 'Parafonia' is by no means a completion; rather, it is a very subjective continuation of a narration which makes a point of the fragmentary. Thus the material is exposed, newly spliced and repeatedly illuminated in different ways. Mozart himself took up the beginning of the adagio melody in his motet 'Ave verum' – this continued development is also narrated. And Liszt is greeted in the coda with his Ave verum homage 'A la Chapelle Sixtine'.†(Johannes X. Schachtner).

After my work 'Furiant' of 2007, another guitar solo work has been written ten years later. The sonority of this album leaf is determined by a special scordatura based on the natural tone scale on C. Thus this intimate little “Rounddance†repeatedly sounds like the accompaniment to a Schubert Lied. –Johannes X. Schachtner.
