The title 'called dusk' quotes the last line of the prose fragment 'Lessness' by Samuel Beckett: 'Figment dawn dispeller of figments and the other called dusk'. As regards the compositional structure, the three movements of the work written 'in memoriam Gyorgy Ligeti' are based on the tones of a Kaddish which, however, cannot literally be heard but, with the fingertips placed on the cello strings, generate artificial harmonics of totally different sequences of tones.

...called dusk II for string quartet draws its inspiration from a line in Samuel Beckett's short story Lessness: 'Figment dawn dispeller of figments and the other called dusk'.The work is a kind of double Chaconne, each part of which contains 26 chords based on specific permutations of fundamental notes and their harmonics. Each of the parts pass through alternating, harmonically contrasted planes, becoming entwined in the manner of a chimera through their rhythmic structure and dynamics. This intermittently produces a sort of 'inner voice' which runs through all four instruments. The fundamental notes and harmonics separate during the progress of the composition, becoming independent and then disintegrating. The consonant harmony resulting from the amalgamation of the two planes ultimately collapses into a rigid motor-like linearity. Detlev Muller-Siemens.
