All in all Maria Bach left more than 400 works to posterity. Most (about 80%) are Lieder and choral works, followed by smaller-scale piano works; not unlike Edvard Grieg or Hugo Wolff, she was an expert in that field, though she did also compose three ballets, made up of small, orchestral piano pieces. Her most ambitious works then, are the few excursions she made into the realms of chamber music (solo cello sonata, cello sonata, piano quartet and quintet, string quintet and two string quartets), in which she ventured a confrontation with the traditions of the grand, established genres. On the present , Oliver Triendl, Marina Grauman, Nina Karmon, Oyku Canpolat, and Alexander Hulshoff showcase Maria Bach's chamber works, including the Piano Quintet InchWolga-QuintetInch, the Cello Sonata, and the Suite for Cello Solo.
