This is a piece for string quartet I wrote in July 2002.

Two ideas came together for this piece: 1) A warm-up exercise for the voice (do-mi-so-re-do) I set to minor (i.e., la-do-mi-ti-la) which yielded the motif first appearing in bars 1 and 2 in the violin 1 part. 2) The 4-part round "Mir lächelt kein Frühling" by Johannes Brahms that is played in rhythmical variation in the cello part in bars 38 to 59 (and parts of it in other parts of the piece).

A violinist of the first string quartet that played this piece compared it to Crisantemi by Giacomo Puccini, probably due to the prominent dissonance in bar 2.

Recently I have been asked about the tempo: Rather count bars than quarter notes. Sixty bars per minute (i.e. one bar per second) is too fast.


Dies ist ein Stück für Streichquartett, das ich im Juli 2002 geschrieben habe.

Zwei Ideen ergaben das Grundmaterial zu diesem Stück: 1) Eine Einsingübung (do-mi-so-re-do), aus der ich, nach Moll transferiert (la-do-mi-ti-la), das Motiv machte, mit dem Stück in der Violine 1 beginnt. 2) Der vierstimmige Kanon in der kleinen Untersekunde "Mir lächelt kein Frühling" von Johannes Brahms, der im Violoncello in den Takten 38 bis 59 in rhythmischer Variation erscheint (und dazu noch in anteilig an anderen Stellen und in anderen Stimmen).

Ein Geiger aus dem Streichquartett, das dieses Stück zuerst gespielt hat, hat es mit Puccinis Crisantemi verglichen, wahrscheinlich wegen der auffälligen Nonendissonanz in Takt 2. Puccinis Crisantemi habe ich 2012 erstmals gehört.

Ich bin kürzlich nach dem Tempo gefragt worden: Eher Takte als Viertelnoten zählen. Sechzig Takte pro Minute (ein Takt pro Sekunde) ist zu schnell.
