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.

Described
by its composer as a
fantasia, Carl Vine's
dramatic String Quartet
No. 5 (2007) contains six
clear sections, but like
much of his music is cast
in one continuous
movement. There is some
repetition and
development of material
throughout the 22-minute
work (which has been
recorded by the Goldner
String Quartet on ABC
Classics), but this is
less important to its
structure than the vivid
musical contrasts that
delineate its formal
arc.
