La Oracion del torrero para cuarteto de cuerda. In the pantheon of 20th century Spanish composers: I. Albeniz M. De Falla E. Granados and the Catalan F. Mompou Joaquin Turina was the only one to devote a considerable part of his compositional talents to chamber music. Like each of the aforementioned composers he lived and studied music in Paris where he was encouraged by the likes of D’Indy Ravel and Debussy. In this brief tone poem for string quartet La Oración del Torero 'The Bullfighter’s Prayer' the influence of Debussy can be heard especially in the use of lush descending parallel ninth chords. The influence of music of the Andalusian Gypsies is also quiteevident. This piece became one of the composer’s most popular works often performed in an arrangement for string orchestra.

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.
