Tones are looking for an author was written in 1989 for Wilfried Brennecke to mark his farewell to the Witten Days for new chamber music. It is a short piece whose four different notation symbols require an elaborating author, on whose imagination the sound world of the music depends. Basically unanimous, the original only allows Hoquetus-like sound polyphony. In the middle the frequencies broaden from 2 to 11 tones with a logical attack frequency: 21 … 321 … 4321 … 7654321 … 77654321 … 77777654321 … 67777765432 … 56777776543 … 12345677777 . After so much confusion that leads to confusion, joy in what is close: Isolde’s death in love and the expressive comedy of a wind machine.

(Nicolaus A. Huber, 1995)
