This piece explores the communication that happens in the performance of a piece by a small chamber ensemble, in this case, a string quartet. Performers who often work together, develop many ways of communicating, and have many conversations. This exploration happens in just one piece of music. Through pitches, rhythm, articulation and dynamics, each musical line interacts with the other lines, and each musician interacts with the other members of the ensemble. They weave in, out and around each other, sometimes speaking together, sometimes commenting or questioning a previous statement, perhaps even ignoring each other.
