String quartet for Classical Jams ATX, first draft 2026-10-29: a panic attack from the first wave to sleep. One two-note figure, the words 'help me', said over and over by four players: piled up, cut off, counted through, and stopped mid-word when sleep takes it. 138 bars, quarter = 112, about 5:40. Every bar numbered; the playhead follows the performance tempo map.
