„Kammermusik IV“is the fourth piece of a series of five chamber music compositions that deal with the relation between idiomatic individual and collective playing. While „Kammermusik III“ had a stronger focus on the individual „musical dialect“ of an instrument/player, in „Kammermusik IV“ small combinations of instruments form various „individual“ groups within the overall framework. After an introduction related to all eight following episodes/groupings, every group plays its individual character. These eight episodes/groupings are further unified by a main pitch for each section, a certain interaction of the respective main instruments, and some „comments“by other instruments or secondary groupings. The final section is regarded as a „neglecting“comment from outside on these eight relationships that form the main body of the piece.
