Wand also composed music, mostly songs with orchestral accompaniment and music for ballet. One composition was his concertino "Odi et amo", for soprano and chamber orchestra, which Wand wrote for his wife, the soprano Anita Westhoff.[3] Anita Wand (Westhoff) died on December 29, 2009 at Ulmiz (CH) at the age of 89 years.
