When I began this piece, I imagined it would be for a large number of instruments. But then I reconsidered the string quartet. Its four instruments can play over a wide range with a variety of versatile expressions, and I realized that I could use it for this piece. The three movements – moderate tempo, slow, and fast – are all based on similar materials. Each movement begins and ends softly and moves to a climax in the middle, interspersed with passages of various dynamics. Each instrument plays both melodic and supporting parts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45031515914319,"sku":"ACA-HOWH-164","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e9c8dd5ff45f2ca21baee90417ecd00d.webp?v=1780257700","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/howe-string-quartet-aca-1","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
