Museumsstücke is how Dieter Schnebel entitled his two collections of experimental music theatre pieces which he sees ‘almost as sound images, acoustic counterparts of what is hanging on museum walls’. In the first cycle he refers to different types and genres of pictures, in the second cycle he applies typical working methods of painters such as Marcel Duchamp, Yves Klein, Anselm Kiefer or Mark Rothko to the music.
