Notes on this piece
This version of the 5th string quartet has my violin solo CAPRA 4 as a basis.

It focuses on special families of integer number intervals. The 1st part deals with natural
thirds 5/4, 6/5 and sixths 5/3 and 8/5, the 2nd part with thirds and natural 7/4 sevenths, the 3rd part
with 7/4 sevenths and fourths 4/3, the 4th part with octaves and 8/7 seconds, all intervals in
superpositions. The 5th and last part comments on the Harry Partchian (or Ben Johnstonian)
Otonality and Utonality up to the number 13.

Since this version was never played, I only have a MIDI version, added as soundfile. But I can give a hint to the wonderful solo version CAPRA 4, played by Miranda Cuckson from NYC 2022. The sound material for the 5th quartet is very much the same.
