Lachenmann H Tanzsuite mit Deutchlandlied for String Quartet

More than my earlier works, this one is interspersed with metrically bound rhythms and musicianly characters that constantly recrystallize and drift towards or away from familiar situations. The familiar: These are dance-like figures and music-making formulas, but also songs and, in two cases fragments of Bach’s music – playfully collected memories of impressions in which – consciously and unconsciously – I am embodied with that collective comfort in whose protection bourgeois thinking and feeling, magically protected, grow up and emerge apart.
