In Paris he studied at the Conservatoire National with Olivier Messiaen and graduated with distinction (premier prix). During this time Rosenmann worked at the French Broadcast at the "Groupe des Recherches Musicales", studied organ with Édouard Souberbielle and musicology. With André Martinet he studied linguistics at the University of Paris (Sorbonne). He returned to Germany, attended the Darmstadt New Music Summer School and joined in Freiburg the class of Wolfgang Fortner. He graduated with a composing degree ("Reifeprüng in Komposition und Musiktheorie") and became a lecturer at the Freiburger Musikhochschule.

Work

In 1960 some poems by Rosenmann were translated into German and published in Freiburg. In 1969 in both Freiburg and Santiago the book Los Paraguas Del No was presented (review in La Prensa, 1971).[2] Since then, twelve volumes, all conceived as cycles of poems, mainly in Spanish, and several essays have been published as well as compositions for the piano, chamber music and music for the stage, including three operas. Rosenmann's music has been performed by renowned interpreters in various European countries and in Chile. "The work of Mauricio Rosenmann Taub seems like a labyrinth of various arts in which isolated threads of Ariadna always interweaves back to the crossroads of the past-" (Stefan Fricke in the encyclopedia Komponisten der Gegenwart – KDG, "Contemporary Composers", article Rosenmann, 1997).

In his later poems Rosenmann intended to establish a bond between the musical interval and the likeness within words and their components. Raúl Zurita, National Prize for Literatur: «Mauricio Rosenmann Taub takes us back to this indiscernible age in which gesture, graphic symbols and sound do not form separate compartments. His poems create an awareness before reading them, a feeling as if it were a recollection of future language.» [3] Eugen Gomringer declares: «Sharpening the senses of looking and hearing, we perceive something coming from far away and pointing into future.»,[4] and about the book Disparación: "There is nothing more beautiful (and important) in our literature than this book."[5]
