The second string quartet by Philip Glass is a lyrical almost romantic piece with strong prominant melodies and deceptively simplistic arrangement that reflects his pioneering minimal compositions. The piece began life as a scorefor Mabou Mines the New York theater company that counted him as 'unofficial' composer for almost three decades and the name comes from the Samuel Beckett play Company.

Philip Glass's String Quartet No.4 was composed as part of the Memorial concert for the artist Brian Buczak. Commissioned by Geoffrey Hendricks it received its first performance on 4 July 1989 at the Emily Harvey Gallery NewYork City.
