The formation of woodwind quartet with piano is probably a rare phenomenon in the chamber music scene. Here, the ensemble 4.1 is, so to speak, doing pioneering work. It is likely the only fixed "Piano Windtet", consisting of 4 wind soloists from German orchestras, all active in chamber music worldwide, and 1 distinctive Thomas Hoppe on piano; they enthusiastically dedicate themselves to this wonderfully classical, yet hardly known musical genre. Concerts at home and abroad, organized by the Goethe-Institut and the German foreign representations, paved the way. Meanwhile, the ensemble 4.1 also regularly plays major tours in North America. ensemble 4.1 - the "Easy Riders of Viennese Classical" - as a critic nonchalantly, yet aptly put it. In reviews, the special communication and captivating atmosphere of the ensemble on stage are repeatedly highlighted as its trademarks. Besides the main works of this instrumentation - by Mozart and Beethoven - the ensemble 4.1 primarily focuses on discovering rarely played compositions from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
