He composed Montafon, a concerto cycle containing the works Eirene, a trumpet concerto; ...geraume Zeit..., a concerto for flute, oboe and orchestra; ego eimi, a clarinet concerto; and Äon, a horn concerto.[1] A revised version of Schlafes Bruder was produced at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt in March 2008.[1]
