Music for Harp solo:
Drei Miniaturen (Three Miniatures) (2005 / תשס"ה)
Please note that these pieces are for lever harp, and partially do NOT work for pedal harp! They are not difficult to play (I would say "medium").
This is based on a sefardic folk-melody used for "el dio alto" (sung after the end of Shabbat). The second part is not easy - at least if you want to perform it in tempo. It is for lever harp, and probably not possible on pedal harp.

Kleine Grüße (small greetings)
These pieces were written as "greeting cards" to a friend (mostly) when I was travelling. Therefore they are short and rather simple - and easy to play. Number two was written on a day when some unpleasant news came in and it was a winter-day with an extraordinary amount of snow falling all day. This piece therefore reflects the cold atmosphere of that day. Nr 2 and also Nr 3 can be played on pedal harp as well as on lever harp. (In Nr 3 insert a small break in the last bar for the pedal.) Nr 1 and 4 will need a lever harp.
