1. Das Geisterschloss
2. Frankenstein's Hamster
3. Vampir ohne Zähne
4. Der Chor der Werwölfe
This trio is an arrangement of the 5 Episodes for mandolin solo. These were originally intended as music for young players, but turned out to be somewhat more difficult than planned. The last movement was not suitable for a trio version, so that it now comprises only four movements.
The programmatic titles are reflected in the music on a deeper level, for instance in the rhythmic fragmentation in "Frankenstein's Hamster" or in the "Chorus of the Werewolves"‘ uncleanly howling.
