Streichquartett Nr. 2

Commissioned by the SWR for the series "attacca – geistesgegenwart music" and premiered by the Minguet Quartet in Stuttgart in 2017, this work is the composer's second contribution to the premier genre of classical electronic music. In the sheet music edition, the through-composed one-movement form is framed by a quote each of Albert Camus and Friedrich Nietzsche on loneliness and fulfilment through the artistic act of creation. This form develops over an uninterrupted ostinato with initially simple intervals to which are gradually added intricate harmonies, garlands and playing effects and which increase and fade away at the end.
