This string quartet by a grand master of the German avant-garde combines a decidedly traditional four-movement structure with experimental situations in the concert hall. In various sections the performers act on revolving stools, in others they take positions at the edge and in the corners of the platform or around the listeners. However, the composer also allows a performance in a conventional seating arrangement which emphasizes the work's classical nature with regard to material and form even further.
