Quartet looking for quartet (IYKNWIM)

March 15, 2013 at 06:50 PM · Here's a recording of my string quartet, titled "Meditation in the Long Grass." As performed by synthesized string sounds, unfortunately.

Some years ago a nationally recognized quartet greeted the work with enthusiasm and offered to perform it. But ultimately decided it was too "difficult." Both technically and musically I think. I've recently spent some time revising it, ironing out most (hopefully all) of the technical difficulties, but not the rather thorny musical language, which remains fairly challenging for the average listener, I suppose.

I'm posting in the hope that some quartet players reading here might be interested in trying it out. If so, let me know and I'll send you a score and parts. My email: victorag@verizon,.net
