A shorter and less stringent work than my two previous quartets (1992 and 1994), the Fourth Quartet is comprised, almost obsessively, of the interplay between two thematic kernels: (1) a 5-note motto, announced at the outset, derived from pitches in my own name; and (2) a brief legato line of expressive sevenths (minor/major), which is itself born out of the first cell. Both of these fragments constantly pervade the entire work, albeit in ever-changing raiment. The piece is extremely classical in design: four movements played without interruption - slow/fast/slow/fast - with the first and third sections alternating declamatory and calmer gestures, and the second and fourth being, in effect, almost variants of each other. Quartet No. 4 is approximately 20 minutes in duration and each movement, as noted, was written in memory of dear friends who passed away during late 1995 and early 1996. The work was completed in April of 1996 in Ormond, Florida and Fairport, New York. --Sydney Hodkinson.A shorter and less stringent work than my two previous quartets (1992 and 1994), the Fourth Quartet is comprised, almost obsessively, of the interplay between two thematic kernels: (1) a 5-note motto, announced at the outset, derived from pitches in my own name; and (2) a brief legato line of expressive sevenths (minor/major), which is itself born out of the first cell.

Dedic ated to Ivan Chan and the Miami String Quartet, who premiered the work in 1995. (1992) For advanced performers. Duration: 25'...a one-movement work with tremendous variety and energy... there is a good deal of original and appealing material. Each of its 10 sections brings something different - pizzicato, mutes, a fugue, cadenzas. Finally, at the end, the theme upon which the variations are based appears for the first time, in a slow and slightly weepy form. -Peter Dobrin, Philadelphia Inquirer.

The First String Quartet completed in 1909 - a work that may almost be regarded as the precursor of the great orchestral folksong variation, 'The Peacock' - is based for the first time on elements entirely derived from folk music. The work was performed for the first time by members of the famous Waldbauer Quartet and was published in 1910. The recent publication is coming out as a volume of the series 'EMB Study Scores'.
