Composed by Ma Shui Long 馬水龍. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 49 pages. SpringAutumnmusic #2341873. Published by SpringAutumnmusic (A0.961998).《弦樂四重奏》1983年
這首連樂章體式的四重奏，可分為：生氣蓬勃的快板、吟詩般的慢板、如歌的行板及生動活潑的終曲這四部分。在曲子進行上，樂章與樂章之間是相連不斷的，一章的結束是下一章的開始，在綿延與連繼之間，樂念流暢地發展下去。
第一樂章是以強而有力的撥奏來揭開序幕，並且以中國傳統的鑼鼓節奏來進行，之後主題由大提琴導入。第二樂章是整曲最大的對比與張力點，是以「吟詩」的樂念來發展。第三樂章整合了第一、第二樂章之後，發展到終曲。整曲在內容上，第一、第三與第四樂章的關係是非常密切，其間不同之處只是由於經由各種手法的變化所致。
音樂的內容就是一種風格，作曲者在形式的侷限下，運用新的理念及手法，呈現了四重奏的另一種境界。
※本曲係文建會委託創作，於1983年完成之作品，1987年樂譜初版，並於2016年再版。

《String Quartet》（1983）
String Quartet is divided into four movements (sections): I. Allegro con brio, II. Dichterisches Adagio, III. Andante cantabile, IV. Lebendiges Finale. The composer designed this piece to play continuously between sections and makes the composition a quasi-single-movement. Due to the continuity, the musical elements and compositional concepts are connected smoothly through out the piece.
The vigorous pizzicato opens up the first movement of this piece, imitates the traditional Chinese Gong-and-Drum rhythmic patterns. The cello solo main theme flows in later and develop the music to the following sections. The second movement is inspired from the concept of "poetry reading". It is the most intensive section and holds the greatest contrast of this piece. The third movement combines elements from the earlier movments and leads to the fourth movement, Lebendiges Finale. The musical ideas between these four movments of the composition are strongly revelent to each other.
The musical content in a composition sets up the style for itself. Even under some restrictions of tradional musical forms, the composer tried to develop few new compositional ideas in order to achieve a new sphere of string quartet with this piece.
String Quartet was commissioned by the Council for Cultural Affairs, finished in 1983, premiered on 4th of January 1985 in the National Taiwan University Student Activity Center. It was programed in the event "A Night of Shui-Long Ma’s Chamber Music", held by Asian Composers’ League-Taiwan Section and NTU-Philharmonic Club.
