Sallinen's first quartet (dating from 1958) is in three movements in growing tempo order, unlike the traditional formula: Lento - Interludium (tempo more or less allegretto) - Vivace. In style it is a neo-classically flavoured hybrid of motivic and twelve-tone methods.

Sallinen's second quartet (dating from 1960) is an excellent example of motivic development. The Canzona presents a panorama, constantly shifting and gradually revealing new aspects of itself while the basic landscapes from which it grows remain virtually unchanged.

The one-movement fouth string quartet (1971) has a subtitle Quiet Songs (Hiljaisia lauluja). In contrast to the splintered plurality of the third quartet, the fourth is a homogenous minor-key landscape that never rises above mezzoforte. The subdued resignation, somehow recalling Shostakovich, is interrupted only by a few fleeting faster sections.
