The Klavierstücke (UE036020) and Preludes both appear on a 2004 3-CD boxed set Wolfgang Rihm Klavierwerke 1966-2000, as recorded by Udo Falkner for Telos. Rihm's music defies categorization - reviewers struggle to define these works with catch-phrases such as early modernism, post-modernism, post-Darmstadt, post-serialist, a kind of utopian newness, post- Cagean spartanist. In the end, one blogger summed up with Rihm is Rihm! For advanced pianists.
