Re: [tuning] Badings quartet

Manuel!
I would rather see Arditti do it since they seem to put more time into what they play.
When I met Badings he played me a piece for two violins based on a ancient greek fragment
using the harmonic series up in the 20's. would really love to hear this again. Know any thing
about it?

Kraig,

That string quartet uses harmonics until the 18th. I don't know
which piece for two violins. I only know the third violin sonata
which is on the CD. Perhaps it is another violin sonata.

By the way, Jeanne Vos has died last month.
