"Die Instabilität der Symmetrie -- one could see this title as a programmatic reference to the work of improvisation. Improvisation is something that suspends a well ordered (or 'symmetrical') structure and refers to the relativity of musical organization. So far, so classical. These improvisations are, however, characterized by what isn't played (the clichés of the expressive playing one's trumps are not to be heard). It is a terse, clearly formulated music that leaves much out, but is neither minimalistic nor monochrome. There are suggestions, abbreviations, fragments, small structural elements that we do not have to perceive as such, since they yield a whole picture: this music is completely and properly formulated. It says less than necessary, but more than possible. Die Instabilität der Symmetrie organizes the sound of improvised music anew. Not only the 'composed symmetry,' but also the specific (improvised) symmetry is confused."
