Musician
"Water Games" – If Spring
Dear fans and friends, thank you for your loyalty during the crisis and the past few months. I wish you a nice summer and a good rest.
Yours, Felicitas
One person, one instrument, one room.
This is a concert in these times ... a quarantine concert. I, alone with me, at the piano. Solo. Piano. Without an audience, without distraction; only alone in my room. After 10 weeks in this situation with me; with my instrument. And the music starts to flow.

My Music
Organ Improvisations Vol. II
My second organ CD is in progress, recorded on the Schuke organ in the 12 Apostle Church. You can look forward to a cross-section of the church year, as well as highlights such as Gershwin's Summertime, trout variations, some classics of film music in a medley and a new improvisation of children's songs.
Many thanks to the team for making this possible, especially to the church musician Christoph Hagemann, but also to Pastor Burkhard Bornemann, to the church staff and of course to my sound engineer Volker Greve.
Winter
Currently my new CD "Winter" is in preparation. Stay tuned!
If Spring
Title:
Part one: Evening
1. Greensleeves Variations
2. Water Games
3. Deep
4. Into the Wild
5. Fountain
6. Big D
Part Two: Morning
7. If Spring
8. Blissful
9. Clusters
10. Stalactites
11. In My Head
12. In Tierces
13. Pulsations
"If Spring" tells of:
- What happens if spring returns to a dead heart;
- What could have happened if spring had come to a love that was unhappy;
- What could happen if spring came again this year and every year; in the heart AND in nature; and in life.
All these "Ifs" and the whole spring; in the heart and in nature, shall be expressed in this music.
