Mouvement (– vor der Erstarrung) [Movement (– before freezing)], is a composition for a small ensemble by Helmut Lachenmann, written between 1982 and 1984.

The music's use of extended techniques exemplifies the style the composer calls musique concrète instrumentale.

The work was premiered on 12 November 1984 at the Théâtre du Rond-Point in Paris, by the ensemble conducted by Eötvös.

[2] The Mouvement (– vor der Erstarrung) refers to the last movements before stiffening in death.

This decomposition is not treated or, worse, celebrated as a natural process, but rather suggested by the fracture of the sound (i.e. by the "melodic" modification of the distortion factor, in the case of percussive events, or by the use of mute, etc.).
