The piece is part of the ballet Wild Swans, choreographed by Meryl Tankard at the Sydney Opera House in 2002, based on the fairy tale The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen. Originally scored for soprano and orchestra, Eliza Aria introduces Princess Elisa and expresses her pure soul, innocence and belief in the goodness of the world: Without saying a word, she must weave stinging nettles into cloth to save her enchanted brothers. The short, enchanting vocalise is perhaps Elena Kats-Chernin's best-known creation and went around the world as music in a promotional video on YouTube. It is now available in numerous versions for `ifferent instruments and instrumentations.

†œIn 2006 Kylie Kwong who is the ambassador for the Fair Trade Association of Australia and NZ asked me to write a piece for Fair Trade event, she asked for something earthy and poetic and she told me a lot about what Fair Trade stands for. This piece grew out of the many impressions of the stories of people growing coffee and sugar in harsh circumstances, transporting the produce on difficult roads. At the same time I wanted to give it a sense of optimism and hope. There are versions of it for Viola and Piano, Violin and Piano, as well as Piano solo. Version for string quartet composed 2007.†(Elena Kats-Chernin).

For its farewell season after 35 years, the Nomos Quartet from Hanover created a concert series in 2019 around the works by Ludwig van Beethoven, who had set standards in the field of string quartets. For this event, the ensemble commissioned a new work from Irister Schiphorst, in which the composer at first studied Beethoven's first contribution to the genre. However, her distance from the reference piece became greater than initially planned, and the question that moved centre-stage was: 'How does Beethoven's music resonate in me at all? Is it musical gestures, themes or moods?' The tonal result of this composing self-exploration is - rich in contrast, often noise-like and pushing the dynamic range to its limits - the personal reformulation of Beethovian 'pathos formulas',i. e. signs of passionate experience embodied in the universal cultural heritage.

In this piece, commissioned by the WDR and premiered by the Quatuor Diotima in Witten in 2016, Johannes Boris Borowski shows that, to him, the string quartet genre is a rewarding field of experimentation despite any past history: A separate architecture emerges from the contrasting of noise and sound-oriented music, an architecture which causes either rather active or rather passive listening, depending on the music's consistency. The composer got his extra-musical inspiration from Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamasov': Its hypnotic detailed drama, the rhythmic change in narrative perspective and the interconnection of crime, development and romantic novel creates a similar audience expectation.
