Many people are intrigued by how music is written. For them, composing is a fascinating craft. It seems almost an elusive mystery. But this very book offers a special glimpse into the inner kitchen of a professional composer and tries to give nuanced answers to the question that occupies many: 'How do you do it, compose?' 'Musical Moments' is a generous retrospective of more than forty years of my career. In this book, I describe that musical journey as precisely as possible. It has become an extraordinary musical quest with sometimes moving and surprising events. It starts with a chronological narrative with relevant descriptions of the creation processes of my compositions. More than 120 QR codes have been incorporated into it and linked to audio and video recordings of the works discussed, so that between the stories you can immerse yourself in this music at your own pace. This way, you not only get a better idea of how music writing works, but above all, you become part of my musical world.
