Many pieces
with a classical cycle of
movements lead to an
examination of baroque
counterpoint in the form
of a fugue. Widmann's
fifth string quartet,
which closes his first
cycle in this genre like
a finale, wants to remain
a deliberately tentative
'Versuch uber die Fuge',
through it's dialogue
with the singing voice's
quotation from the Bible:
'That which is, is far
off and exceedingly deep.
Who can find it out? -
Vanitas vanitatum omnia
vanitas!'.
