Description of Style
A lot of my music approaches are self-taught; from the very beginning I felt the need to express myself in my own creative work. I spent most of the time improvising on the piano and creating compositions for various instrumentations.
Peter Suitner, quoted from Auer, Werner, Gamper, Kurt:, Tirol, schöpferisches Land. - Innsbruck: Steiger, 1984 - p. 341
Press Reviews
30. April 2001
[..] Peter Suitner is a master of the miniature
Dolomiten
18. April 2001
In "11 Scherzi", Peter Suitner from Innsbruck proves to have wit, charm and distinctiveness.
Stadtblatt Südtirol
22. December 1998
[...] further, Suitner does not show any sign of fear in crafting harmony connections that might sound unfamiliar to classically-oriented chamber music listeners.
Tiroler Tageszeitung
2. September 1998
[...] he is appreciated as a fine humorist and satirist, who rearranges serious, pathos-ridden themes in a playful, moody and profound manner, without losing touch with conventional tonality.
Tiroler Tageszeitung (Thomas Nußbaumer)
2. April 1994
Peter Suitner proves that there is always something new to say with traditional means.
Tiroler Tageszeitung (Jutta Höpfl)
4. July 1981
[...] that the world premiere of Peter Suitner's Hommage á Bartok was a great success.
