Pas de quatre (Streichquartett Nr.2)

"A piece of surprising vitality and concentration. This was music which, though showing a sense of clarity, balance, perhaps even handiness, touches upon aspects of screaming, song, dance and escape, while bristling with cunning and precise ideas. Gestures were elevated through elaborate counterpoint, a fugato was heard rushing across the scene, jagged rhythmic edges obstructed the way. While those elements merged into each other, a dreamy landscape emerged." (Reinhard Schulz, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 11 Apr 2006)
