Zum Programm

While the string quartet is the epitome of chamber music, string quartets supplemented by the piano are, so to speak, rearranged orchestral pieces. Schumann's reference work is juxtaposed with the work of U.C. Erkin, probably the best-known Turkish composer of his generation. Few contemporary German composers have explored the string quartet as intensively and imaginatively as Ernst Helmuth Flammer.
