Life

Born in Halle (Saale), Burtevitz first studied philosophy at the Technical University of Dresden, then changed to the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber as a student of Jörg Herchet. She continued her studies at the Studio für Elektronische Musik  [ de ] and as a master student of Dimitri Terzakis at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig. Since then she has been living as a freelance composer in Dresden. [1]

Work

Burtevitz developed her own tuning system for the piano work "Axia" (ancient Greek: "fundamental value") which lasts a good one and a half hours. In this system all intervals have a different size. For example, there are five different fifths. The octaves are also unequal. With this tuning system a strict order of tones is created, which nevertheless remains open to infinity. The form and rhythms of "axia" are also based on the tuning system. [2]
