Ballet production 'See the Music (Hear the Dance)' by Ballet des Moines including selected movements of my Piano Sonatas 1-6
I’m thrilled to share that the Ballet Des Moines recently performed three critically acclaimed shows of See the Music (Hear the Dance), featuring the incredible choreography of Tom Mattingly. What makes this collaboration even more special is that part of the production included nine selected movements from my Piano Sonatas 1-6.
I feel very honored that Ballet Des Moines chose to incorporate my music into these stunning performances, which were held at Grinnell College, Hoyt Sherman Place, and Stephens Auditorium in Iowa/U.S. I’m grateful to have been a part of this amazing production.
If you missed the shows, don’t worry! You can still watch some astonishing excerpts from the performances on my Instagram profile. Just head over to @goetzoestlind to enjoy the highlights!
Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy watching these beautiful moments!

![Frédéric Chopin wrote his famous 'Nocturne No. 2 in E-Flat Major, Opus 9' about 200 years ago, and I have now made an arrangement of this legendary piece, with adding my personal "Oestlind" note - now available on all streaming platforms!
.
Please listen there to the entire version of my rework - on June 9 the 'Prélude, Op. 28 No. 20 [reworked]' will be released and on June 30 the EP "Chopin Legacy" with a total of four famous compositions by Chopin in my arrangements.
.
I hope you enjoy listening - and if you are interested in the differences, it is always worth listening to Chopin's original beforehand!

BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Goetz Oestlind (original spelling Dr. Götz Östlind) studied piano under Conrad Hansen‘s alumni Gisela Stumme and Prof. Lev Natochenny. He completed his studies of Applied Cultural Studies with a Master‘s degree (M.A.) and earned his Ph.D. with his dissertation on ‚Counterpoint in Film Music‘.
In 2006 he composed his first international TV commercials for NIVEA (‚The Secret in Baby‘s Skin‘ and ‚Plunging Neckline‘), in 2010 his first film score for the arte production ‚Angriff aus dem Nichts‘. He became the competition king in Europe's biggest TV show, ‚Wetten, dass..?‘, in 2006 with his absolute pitch and, as part of the piano duo ‚David & Götz‘, he has played more than 700 concerts so far.
In the past years, he has established himself worldwide as a well-known composer and won the prestigious ‚Hollywood Music in Media Award‘ in the category ‚Outstanding Instrumental Performance‘ in 2021.
The U.S. American ‚Richmond Ballet‘ performed the acclaimed world premiere ‚Jahreszeiten‘, which musically consisted of Oestlind‘s Piano Sonatas in 2021. Twelve other performances followed. The ‚Czech National Symphony Orchestra‘ recorded his ‚Fantasy for Piano & Orchestra in B Minor, Op. 8‘ with pianist Sergey Belyavsky in Prague.
In 2025 the U.S. American ‚Ballet des Moines‘ performed the world premiere ‚See the Music (Hear the Dance)‘, composed of selected movements from Oestlind's Piano Sonatas.
His compositions have been streamed almost 150 million times on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and others.
For me and for the power of music, it is the greatest gift of all
when my compositions capture the listenerʼs heart.
