Feuer und Wasser for wind quartet

The harmonious sequence of this melody draws inspiration from a sorrowful poem by a friend, Otto Wanke, who was navigating the painful waters of a teenage breakup with his first love. Its title, Fire and Water, symbolizes the incompatibility of these two "elements", mirroring the mismatched relationship. However, the music, primarily in minor mode with sporadic hints of Dorian, serves as a mournful lament rather than a sonic representation of these "elements". The performers: The Budapest wind quartet consists of Flute: Ildikó Szabady
