About this Piece
(Starts at 2:06)
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. The second movement presents a calming three-note theme with variations." - Evan Williams
Chords: Played in broken style throughout this movement
Homophony: While the musical lines are often moving in the same rhythmic duration, the constant changes in melodic contour among the parts lessen the perception of homogeneity.
