This piece is the result of experiments carried out during a seminar by composer Markus Schmitt (*1965) at the Leopold Mozart College of Music in Augsburg. These are four microcosms for flute, clarinet and bassoon inspired by a haiku by the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer (Nobel Prize for Literature 2011) from the collection Das große Rätsel [The Great Enigma] (2005). The piece lasts approximately 7 minutes.
