Translation

Between 1981 and 2016 I translated some 90 works of fiction and non-fiction for major German language publishers such Kiepenheuer & Witsch, Diogenes, Rowohlt, Piper, S. Fischer, dtv and others. Among “my” authors are Don DeLillo, Breyten Breytenbach, Colum McCann, John Barth, Amitav Ghosh, Rohinton Mistry, Geoff Dyer and Garth Risk Hallberg.

Since 2010 my activities in the academic field involved

• translating articles for architectural journals CANDIDE and Stadtbauwelt;
• extensive multi-lingual translation work for the University of Luxembourg in the fields of Social Sciences and Gender Studies;
• collaboration on 2 projects of the Max-Planck-Institut für

empirische Ästhetik (Lexikon Schriften über Musik, vol. 1 and 2).

Due to my life-long passion for music (I play piano and bandoneón) I also started translating for German music publishers in 2009:

Books featuring Glenn Gould, Beethoven, Chopin, Diaghilew and the Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta (all at Schott) and Mozart (Bärenreiter/Metzler).

Prefaces and remarks on interpretation (into English) for major German and Austrian music publishers such as Bärenreiter, Breitkopf and Wiener Urtext
