Special processes of alteration are developed in Rosenmann's compositions (cf. the interview in Deutsche Welle in literature ). In the purely instrumental works "an increasing formulation of the visible is heralded." (Stefan Fricke, KDG Lexicon , 1997). His works for piano and for chamber ensemble have been performed in several European countries and in Chile; the stage works mainly in Germany and Switzerland, such as Maquinación for chamber ensemble with a pinball machine as a soloist (1979–1980); Frankenstein-OperAzione (1992) on texts by Mary Shelley with the Andante by Mozart KV 545 as cantus and Solomisazione - Opera per una persona sola (1997).
"For Mauricio Rosenmann's text production, the junction of writing / language and their graphic realization is central." In 1960 some of his poems appeared in a Freiburg magazine. In 1969 the book los paraguas del no was published. Twelve other books followed by 2012, most of them in Spanish, as well as various essays. Eugen Gomringer : "You sharpen your eyes and hearing and perceive something that comes from afar and points far into the future." "He realizes universal poetry." In Disparación (2006-07), Solo por ser usted (2009-10) and Modulación (2011-12) an attempt is made to see the musical interval and the tonal or graphic similarity of certain words in a certain context. Raúl Zurita, National Prize Winner for Literature of the Republic of Chile: «Mauricio Rosenmann takes us back to that age when gesture, graphics and sound were not yet separate forms of expression. His poems open up even before you read them and they read before you can even have a thought, as if we suddenly had before us the future memory of language, the reservoir of those signs that survive the inevitable misunderstanding that the words of always attached. " (transl. Sigrid Konrad). Stefan Fricke: "Rosenmann's oeuvre appears as a [...] artistic labyrinth in which individual Ariadne threads are spun, which almost always lead back to past forks." ( KDG , 1997).
