This was written at a time when Hermann's life had fallen apart both personally and professionally. Knowing that makes the music even more poignant.

...this is a very fine piece of chamber music: Sensitive, melancholic, very fragile, I really like it. Excellent rendition by the Tippett Quartet as well. Many thx 4 posting!
