Score-This 35-minute work is in five movements which bears a resemblance to the arch-form principales of Bartok’s fourth quartet. The quartet is based upon a motto composed of even repetitions of a single tone and a sequenceof disjunct minor thirds. There are also four pitch centers recurring throughout the work: C C-sharp G and G-sharp.The String Quartet was commissioned by the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts for the Cleveland Quartet. Thefirst performance was on Oct 26 1995 by the Cleveland Quartet.
