Work introduction
Jagden und Formen is so immediately gripping that it is already considered a classic of the modern age. As a ‘work-in-progress’ that has grown over the years, Jagden und Formen has reached its final form in the version of 2008. It begins as a mating dance of two violins and increases to a breathless music of irresistible pull: virtuosic, intoxicating and exuberant with ideas, without ever losing the tension. Inescapable.
Wolfgang Schaufler
