I have made three MP3-files with fragments of Henk Badings' fourth
string quartet. This quartet was written in commission of the
Huygens-Fokker foundation.
The page about Badings has a few words about it:

At the bottom one can follow the link to the music page, or go directly:

So, when talking about microtonal pieces that can hold the attention for
more than four minutes: this is a supreme example. It would be great if
the Kronos Quartet should take this quartet in their repertoire, I think
they would have success with it. Surely they'd perform it with more
flair and intensity than in this live recording. Anybody knows how to
make them interested?
