Fantasia Suite for Solo Piano and Piano and Orchestra comprises the first 14 Volumes of Larsen published by Edition Isolde. The Cosmos Symphonic Suite for Orchestra is a 12 Volumes work, approximately 15 hours of music, inter-related thematically; introduced in first edition by Edition Isolde, Volumes XV to XXVI. They are intended to be performed as independent pieces or as Volumes or in groups of Volumes.
The Cosmos Symphonic Suite was conceived in the spirit of fantasy. During the creative process, the work became a combination of influences from my life. I have consciously broken the formalized barriers of conventional Concerto and Instrumental versus Symphony with free use of Solos especially from the piano and keyboard instruments.
