“…prodigious technical range and often relentless if rarely literal rhythmic profile resulting in avowedly maximalist music. Hence the confrontational overly of meters in SOLO 5 (1999) or teasingly inexact formal repetitions in SOLO 6 (2000). The 'moto blues' of SOLO 7 (2001) leaves this austerity with a syncopated vitality redolent of Kapustin, while the 11 'combinatorial etudes' that compromise SOLO 9 (2003) recall Ligeti in their conjuring up of intricate textures out of harmoniously simple cells. Moritz Eggert, a notable composer in his own right, renders some transcendental pianism with unsparing conviction.”
