Piccola Musica is written for string trio and consists of five short movements independent of each other apart from the ‘tie-up’ between numbers I and V. The texture is in the main contrapuntal though less consistentlyso than in Maconchy Quartets and the mood is more relaxed.The five ‘piccoli movimenti’ are: I Allegro moderato II Andante III Moderato IV Poco lento V Allegro moderato- meno mosso-allegro moderato: in its end is itsbeginning.

Judith Weir: My Piano Quartet (2000) is part of an extended series of works for piano and strings which I have written over the last twenty years - although I didn¹t know it was going to be a series when I wrote the first of these works Music for 247 Strings in 1980. During this period it has been far more usual for composers to write for mixed wind and string ensembles. But I continued (and still continue) to be fascinated by the potential of strings and piano; particularly the chance to write for the instruments as soloists or as a group and often to use both these options simultaneously.String Parts.Premiered July 2000 at the Cheltenham Festival by the SchubertEnsemble.Piano Score available: CH61794
