A contemporary music composer focused on quiet tension, gradual transformation, and inward musical processes.
Lyrical Concert Piece for Violin, Op. 11 (2026)
A 5-minute concert piece for solo violin, available in two versions: for violin and orchestra, and for violin and piano.
An emotionally direct and lyrical work shaped by two contrasting musical ideas, gradual intensification, and a quiet, reflective conclusion.
With its concise duration and two performance versions, the work is well suited to concert openings, recital programmes, masterclasses, conservatoire showcases, educational concerts, and festival programmes.
Lyrical Concert Piece, Op. 11 by Martin Peter Lotz is a compact work for solo violin, available with orchestral or piano accompaniment. The piece is built around two recurring, contrasting lyrical motifs, which are developed through changes of colour, density, and tempo. The solo violin carries the principal expressive line, while the accompaniment provides a transparent and gradually shifting harmonic and textural frame.
Performance materials are available on request.

Violin Concerto, Op. 10 (2025/26)

Listen – solo violin excerpt (expressive section)
A three-part concerto shaped by restraint, breathing tempo, and gradual transformation. Rather than pursuing outward virtuosity, the work unfolds through subtle dynamic movement, layered textures, and an inward dramatic arc. View Score and Audio.
