BREAKING THE BAR was commissioned by the Bludenzer Tage Zeitgemäßer Kunst and performed there on November 29, 2008. Following the instructions in the score, the musicians broke bars of chocolate on their chairs, and the audience was offered to eat the bits and pieces. Subsequently, the chairs were taken off the stage and placed in the entrance hall where the audience could read the score on the glass facade. The drawing measures 27 x 2 m.
