| Program Notes | My Quartet for Piano and Strings (about fourteen minutes long) was completed in 1985. It was written for and is dedicated to Eliza Garth. The work is in four movements played without a break. The first movement, stark and dramatic, sets up many of the issues (concerning pitch, texture, register, and form) which are elaborated across the rest of the work. The second movement is slow, elegiac, and quite short. It functions primarily as an introduction to a fast-paced Scherzo - Trio - Scherzo. This third movement is the center of gravity for the work, with the second Scherzo containing the climax for the whole piece. The Quartet concludes with a slow final movement, which is both a reprise/transformation of the second movement and the coda for the entire work. --David Froom |
