Who doesn't know the famous Mainz carnival song “Heile, heale Gänsje”. It became a comforting song that is sung on all sorts of occasions. Wolfgang Birtel takes the melody on a humorous journey through music history, transforming it - more or less hidden - into the guise of famous composers. So “Heile, heile Gänsje” appears in the little sentences sometimes with a powdered Bach wig or at the court ball with Johann Strauss, with Haydn at Fürst Esterházy or at the Schubertiade, etc. Humor is the trump card in these parodies, which involve enjoyable music-making in a string quartet - ad libitum with double bass – guaranteed.

There are two versions of this piece (two ways to perform it):- as a quartet- for two quartets playing simultaneously. In the latter case, the two quartets divide the staves of the page of a score in such a way that one quartet always plays the upper stave, the other quartet the lower. One of the two quartets can be taped beforehand in case it is impossible to make use of two quartets.(Adriana Holszky)CDs:Hangebrucken- Quartett I - Quartett II- DoppelquartettNomos-Quart ett; Pellegrini-QuartettCD cpo 999 112-2Bibliography:Blument aler, Volker: Adriana Holszky; Hangebrucken, in: Streifzuge.
