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).
