The most straightforward and shortest of any of my string quartets to date, the sixth employs only two thematic gestures which are used, perhaps obsessively, throughout: (a) brief melodic lines formed principally of sevenths, and (b) an ascending scale. The formal design is born out of the continual combining, interweaving and juxtaposition of these two elements, which collect themselves into two movements played without pause: the first predominantly slow and pensive, the second rhythmic and driving. Quartet No. 6 is approximately 16 minutes in duration. The score was commissioned by the Los Angeles-based Calder Quartet, four extremely talented young musicians with whom I performed at the Aspen, Colorado, Music Festival, and is dedicated to my wife, Elizabeth on the occasion of our fifty years together. The first movement is written in memory of my father-in-law Howard Deischer (1907 - 2005), who died during the course of composing. The work was completed in April of 2005 in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Florida. -- Sydney Hodkinson.

Chamber Music String Quartet

SKU: PR.UE036720

Composed by Aleksey Igudesman. Contemporary. Full score. With Standard notation. 28 pages. Universal Edition #UE036720. Published by Universal Edition (PR.UE036720).

ISBN 9783702473631. UPC: 803452070757.

Igudesman's entry in the genre of serious string quartet music is a joyful, exciting three-movement set. The music is driving, rhythmic, absorbed, requiring full focus of all four players. A touring and recording artist on the violin, Igudesman naturally imparts the most beautiful lines to his own instrument, but doesn't neglect the other performers, each of whom has a turn in the spotlight.
