On 5 October 2003 music for one to ten players, conducted by Yaron Traub, was performed in the Kleiner Konzertsaal, including the Piccolo Quintet.

The string quartet was formed by Odette Couch, Kirsty Hilton, Isabel Charisius and the composer.

[1] A revised version was performed in Munich on 14 March 2011 in a chamber concert of the Bavarian Tonkünstlerverband (Musical Artists' Association).

The string players, besides the composer, were members of the Münchner Philharmoniker, Clément Courtin, Namiko Fuse and Konstantin Sellheim.

The strings and the bassoon play arpeggio motifs in open intervals such as fifths and major sixths.
