Carl Rütti writes about his Stundenbuch: ‘In the early 80s I spent a lot of time at the piano preparing recitals and concerts. It was at this time when I wished to have music like prayers to give a structure to the daily work at the instrument: a book of hours. I then realised that each time of the day has its own music preference: the early morning asks for joyful singing like birds, the later morning for small and lyric sounds; the hours after noon seem to me very depressive, and the late evening asks for music which combines all the day’s work in calm fulfilment. This brought me to write my Stundenbuch, a collection of various pieces.’
