Some of these cycles present a serious yet ironic panorama of human existence (such as S.K. Remembrance Noise), while others focus on the tragedy of this existence (such as Attila József Fragments), or reveal the inexhaustible richness of musical expression without words (Officium breve in memoriam Andreae Szervánszky). This rich and representative selection of Kurtág's chamber music is performed by a young generation of musicians wholly dedicated to the composer's art, who may be considered Kurtág's musical grandchildren.
