In his Kongsgaard Variations (2006), Swedish composer Anders Hillborg takes the Arietta theme from Beethoven's last piano-sonata, No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111 as the basis for an evocative 16-minute string quartet. Beethoven's sublime music drifts strangely through the centuries and is warped, vaporised, and refashioned as if, in the words of Hillborg, the Arietta is dreaming yet another variation on itself.

Chamber Music String Quartet

SKU: PR.14440505S

Composed by Sydney F. Hodkinson. Full score. With Standard notation. 37 pages. Duration 17 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #144-40505S. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.14440505S).

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.

Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer versuchte sich in seiner Kindheit auf verschiedenen Instrumenten und gelangte dann uber den Kontrabass zum Violoncello. Bereits als 16jahriger wurde er in die Hofkapelle Meiningen aufgenommen, und nachdem er seinen letzten Schliff als Virtuose von der Vortragskunst Bernhard Rombergs erhalten hatte, wurde er, 28jahrig, als sachsischer Kammermusiker an die Dresdner Hofkapelle berufen.

Havin g performed Garrop's String Quartet No. 2: Demons and Angels with much success, it is only natural that the Biava Quartet would handle the premiere of String Quartet No.3: Gaia. In an email interview with Pittsburgh New Music Net, Biava violist Mary Persin says, in part, We received many very enthusiastic responses from audience members who were struck by the interesting form, as well as the sonorities created by using a good deal of dissonance as well as harmonics. Watch for a recording by the Biava Quartet to be made available soon. For advanced performers. Duration: 32' 30.
