“When I was a child, I heard the Chaconne from the Partita in D minor by J. S. Bach, and the arpeggio section has influenced me ever since. For the guitar, I intended to compose an arpeggio that leads guitarists to their
limits, much as the violinists are challenged in Bach’s Partita. The title, Metamorphose, signifies harmony flowing — from yesterday, to today, to tomorrow.” (Ralf Bauer)

In his musical interpretation of metamorphosis, Bauer-Mörkens drew deeply from Bach’s legacy while forging a distinct contemporary voice. The resulting work is both virtuosic and compelling, pushing the guitarist to the very limits of technical endurance, focus, and expressive depth.
