Professor Rainer Schmidt discusses all aspects related to the expression and character of this movement and works in depth on every detail to achieve the atmosphere of this masterpiece of Expressionism. All elements have a close relationship with expression. In some passages, it is sometimes necessary to get into the string to achieve a deeper sound. They work on the character of the middle voices. At certain times, Professor Rainer takes the place of the second violin to play with the quartet, and it is the student who gives his comments on the external sound. They study in depth the tempo, dynamics, articulation… and all the parameters that influence the expression.
