Four pairs of words separated by an hyphen suggest a relation between each pair (contrast, refinement, conclusion, etc.).
I. Klang - Bild [sound - image]: linear and pointed moments contrasted with a fan-shaped sound.
II. Stille - Nacht [silent - night]: Resonating, soft harmonics create the illusion of silence. The title of this section is a literary reference to the famous Christmas carol, Silent Night.
III. Spinne - Netz [spider - net]: Through the spider’s activity (part one), the net is constructed (part two). The existing differences in the net's fine threads are infinitesimal.
IV. Wald - Licht [forest - light]: Light penetrates sporadically through the branches. And a meadow where there is nothing but light (sounding “A).
