Labyrinth is a large-scale solo piano work composed in 2018. It unfolds as a fifty-minute journey through passages, reflections, monsters, mythic beings and recurring appearances of the Traumwanderer, or dream-wanderer.

The work draws on labyrinths both real and imaginary, and on the literary world of Jorge Luis Borges. Its stations include A Bao A Qu, the Simurgh, the Norns, Fenrir, Swedenborg’s angels and demons, the Kilkenny Cats, the Squonk, the Minotaur, Bahamut and the Library of Babel.

• Form Twelve-part piano cycle.
• Duration Approximately 50 minutes.
• Forces Solo piano.

Auerbach describes the work as a search for a form in which the relationship between observer and observed could be explored. The labyrinth becomes not only a space, but an image of time, memory, fear, imagination and the brain itself.

The recurring Traumwanderer is both guide and double: a figure who moves through the maze and begins to recognize himself in its creatures. The work also stands in implicit dialogue with Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, replacing the gallery promenade with a darker, stranger passage through an inner bestiary.
