In his book the British violinist Irvine Arditti, founder and leader of the world-famous Arditti Quartet, describes his close collaboration with many composers, as Luigi Nono, Luciano Berio, Giacinto Scelsi, Mauricio Kagel, Hans Werner Henze, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, György Ligeti, Elliott Carter, Jonathan Harvey, James Dillon …
"It was quite a few years ago that I had the idea to document the many years I have spent in the music profession, first as an orchestral player but then as a soloist and the founder and leader of the Arditti Quartet. My interest in contemporary music goes back to my early teens and has continued through a celebrated 48 years of quartet playing, working with many of the most interesting contemporary composers."
