Work

Rosenmann's compositions for piano, voice, chamber ensemble and stage plays have been performed by renowned interpreters. He is "a brilliant innnovator who plays with sounds and words eliciting them illuminating nuances and meanings." (Antonio Skármeta).[1] "Sharpening the senses of looking and hearing, we perceive something coming from far away and pointing into future." (Eugen Gomringer).[1]
