Product Description

In 2021 I dedicated SQ15 to Dmitri Shostakovich because ... he wrote fifteen string quartets.  

Then I dedicated SQ17 to Heitor Villa-Lobos because he wrote seventeen.  What happened to SQ16?   We all know that Beethoven wrote sixteen string quartets.  But, I am not a fan of his work in general, and I did not find anything inspiring among his string quartets.  So, instead I dedicated "SQ16 ... Música Callada" (2022) to Federico Mompou.  His music I love!

In my search for a string quartet inspiration I discovered that Darius Milhaud wrote eighteen string quartets.  I knew he spent a few years in Brazil as a diplomat, and I have always admired the Brazilian influences in his own music, like the twelve-movement work for solo piano, "Saudades do Brasil.  

So it became obvious that SQ18 is dedicated in memoriam to Darius Milhaud.

SQ18 ... Hommage à Darius Milhaud (2023) is in six movements.

I.  Très lent ... Vif, très rythmé   TRIO
II.  Lent
III.  Très animé   TRIO
IV.  Funèbre
V.  Très vif
VI.  Très lent    TRIO
