Introduction


Variatively in itself, the piece refers to the cycle without quoting. The musical method of questioning seven times the same rhythmic structure for its “meaning“ corresponds to the way in which the texts from completely different cultures are dealt with, whose meaning can often only be understood by questioning one's own culture.
