String Quartets by Lachenmann, Iannotta, and Dreyer
Helmut Lachenmann once said that composing for him means “to bring about a situation in sound, which, while not new to me, nonetheless remains alien, for it is in this that I lose myself, and in so doing truly find myself again.” In his three string quartets, the composer has found (and reinvented) himself in ever new ways.
