Product Description
String Quartet No. 1 in D minor is a full-scale piece in four movements. This is an advanced piece that would be suitable for those looking for neo-Classical/-Romantic style music.
Pertinent information regarding each movement:
I: 2/4 time, D minor. Ternary form with coda (ABA-CODA.) 145 measures. Slow and expressive movement. Intensity is risen in the coda before settling down.
II: 2/4 time, Bb minor in section A, B major in section B. Ternary form (ABA'- CODA.) 148 measures. Energetic and aggressive movement contrasted by a slower lyrical section. An agitated retransition to the A' section sets the tone for a quick, climactic ending.
III: 6/8 time, F major in A section, Bb minor in B section. Ternary form with coda (ABA-CODA.) 74 measures. Slow, tranquil movement filled with plenty of expressive moments. An accelerando builds in intensity to an "attacca subito," paving the way for the finale.
IV: 6/8 time, D minor. A more homophonic movement with ostinato-like themes. Features a lyrical section in Eb minor. Ternary form with coda (ABA-CODA.) An accelerando builds to the "Piu Allegro" coda, a dramatic and tense moment contrasted by heroic, powerful chord progressions. The final statement of the D minor chord in the last measure is preceded by a dramatic Eb appoggiatura.
