Hans Russenberger

Ich und der Stein

Als ich zum ersten Mal Gelegenheit hatte, frei mit Stein zu arbeiten, hat mich das derart in seinen Bann gezogen, dass ich keine Ruhe mehr fand. Ich wusste damals noch nicht um die Bedeutung dieser Begegnung, aber aus heutiger Sicht kann ich sagen, dass meine damalige Erregtheit völlig gerechtfertigt war. Die Formen, die ich fand, die Bilder, die ich schuf, waren für mich wie ein neues Alphabet. Sie ermöglichten mir Erkenntnisse in einer Klarheit, wie ich es bis dahin nicht für möglich gehalten hätte. Ich erhoffe mir für alle Menschen einen Weg, der es ihnen ermöglicht, zu tieferen Einsichten zu gelangen - für mich ist es die Arbeit am Stein.

Hans-Udo Kreuels

Hans-Udo Kreuels was born in Kavelaer, in the German Fedaral State of North Rhine / Westphalia. Artistically marked by his father, the writer Friedrich Wilhelm Kreuels, he decided as a child to become a pianist and conductor. At the age of nine, Hans-Udo Kreuels composed his first pieces.

It was not before the age of 21 that he could commit himself to an extensive musical training (he studied piano at the Musicacademy Detmond, Germany), with Franzpeter Goebels as his first teacher, who made him familiar with Mozart's London Sketchbook - an impetus that would make him devote himself to this matter of decades.

Besides he attended composition classes with Johannes Driessler and Gieselher Klebe. After his graduation in 1975, he continued his piano studies with Dieter Weber and Noel Flores at the Vienna University of Music. In 1981, Hans-Udo Kreuels graduated with another diploma in piano. Profound musicological studies at Vienna University (Walter Pass) as well as master classes with Stanislaw Neuhaus in Vienna and Wilhelm Kempff in Positano, eventually completed his musical training.
