About this Piece
Program Note: "The Quartet displays a wide range of influences, from the "sound clouds" of Ligeti, the "grooves" of Minimalism and Post-minimalism, to the emotionalism of Neo-romanticism." - Evan Williams
Texture: Listen to the texture created by the overlapping melodic ideas (polyphony), that coalesce into moments of unison among all four instruments!
