This
humorous little vignette
for string quartet was
composed in 1979 and was
originally intended to be
published by Piedmont
Music, the ASCAP division
of EB Marks Classical.
For reasons unknown,
however, it remained in
manuscript form until
2021, when a copy of the
composer's autograph
parts was discovered in
the archives of a
completely different Alan
Shulman piece. This newly
engraved Latham Music
edition therefore
represents the first
publication of Shulman's
delightful work, as well
as the first full score.
As the title suggests,
this is a medium-slow
rag, or cakewalk in a
loose AABA form. The
bluesy and graceful main
melody is introduced by
the first violin in a
call and response
exchange with the rest of
the ensemble. The
restatement of the
primary theme is led by
the second violin, with
the entire ensemble
playing pizzicato, having
the effect of playful
mockery. In the B
section, the first violin
earnestly reasserts the
stately grace from the
opening however, the
cello is clearly becoming
restless and decides to
take over the lead just
before the final reprise.
The lighthearted ending
again has the first
violin doing its best to
bring the tune to a
refined conclusion, but
the rest of the group
still has mischief in
mind. After a couple
moments of seeming
confusion, the ensemble
regroups at last and
plays the final riff with
resolute emphasis. If
you're looking to add a
light moment to a recital
program, or looking for a
short, medium level
contest piece that
players and audiences
alike will enjoy, this
little miniature is an
ideal choice!

Janácek
€™s 2nd String
Quartet, “Intimate
Lettersâ€, is
regarded as a highlight
of the modern string
quartet literature. It
was written during the
composer’s last
year of life, between 29
January and 19 February
1928, inspired by the
ageing
Janácek’s
exceptional love for
Kamila Stösslová.
The Moravian Quartet
devoted themselves to
this impressive work;
Janácek attended a
total of three of their
rehearsals in May and
June 1928. This had
several consequences,
including his abandoning
his original idea of
using a viola
d’amore.
Af
ter Janácek’s
unexpected death (12
August 1928) the
uncertain genesis of the
work became the greatest
problem of the
“Intimate
Lettersâ€: the
surviving copies were not
definitively
authorised.
The
editors of this new
edition have reverted to
Janácek’s
autograph sketches as the
main, most reliable
source and using these as
a basis, have
reconstructed the work as
it stood at the point of
Janácek’s
death.
The musical
text therefore contains
clear differences in
comparison with older
editions.

Based
on Wallace Stevens' poem
The Planet on the Table
this string quartet's
world is made of the
music and sounds of
remembered times or of
something heard that the
composer, Martin
Bresnick, liked. The
quartet has five
movements, each headed by
a quotation from one of
Stevens' poems as a point
of departure or pathway
into those remembered
sounds and music. What
matters is that my music,
like his (Stevens')
poetry, should bear some
lineament or character,
some affluence, if only
half perceived in the
poverty of its sounds, of
the planet of which it
was part.. Wallace
Stevens' poem The Planet
on the Table begins -
Ariel was glad he had
written his poems, They
were of a remembered time
Or of something seen that
he liked. In this string
quartet, also entitled
The Planet on the Table,
my planet is made of the
music and sounds of a
remembered time or of
something heard that I
liked. The quartet has
five movements, each
headed by a quotation
from one of Stevens'
poems* as a point of
departure or pathway into
those remembered sounds
and music: I. Mrs.
Anderson's Swedish Baby
II. She Measured the Hour
III. Scene 10 Becomes 11
IV. Someone Has Walked
Across the Snow V. His
Self and the Sun Like
Stevens, my self and the
sun are one, and my
music, like his poetry,
although makings of my
self, is also makings of
the sun. Stevens wrote it
was not important that
his poetry survive, which
is also true of my work.
What matters is that my
music, like his poetry,
should bear some
lineament or character,
some affluence, if only
half perceived in the
poverty of its sounds, of

was part. *Sources for

Shula
mit Ran’s second
string quartet, subtitled
“Vistas,â€
occupies a large canvas
that is cast in a
traditional fourmovement
mold, where the outer
movements present,
explore, and later return
to the work’s
principal musical
materials, surrounding a
slow movement and
scherzo-type third
movement with a trio. In
addition to tempo-based
titles, the individual
movements have subtitles
that are evocative of
each movement’s
character, as follows: I.
Concentric: from the
inside out II. Stasis
III. Flashes IV.
Vistas. My second
string quartet,
“Vistasâ€, is
a work cast in a
traditional four-movement
formal mold, with the
outer movements,
presenting and later
returning to the
work’s principal
musical materials,
surrounding a slow
movement and a
scherzo-type third
movement.While the four
movements’
“properâ€
names -- Maestoso con
forza, Lento, Scherzo
impetuoso, and
Introduzione; Maestoso e
grande – give some
indication of the general
character of the
individual movements, I
have also subtitled, less
formally, each movement
as follows:Â 1)
Concentric:Â from the
inside out 2)Â
Stasis 3) FlashesÂ
4) Vista. The images
evoked by these titles
tell one, I think, a bit
more about the inner
workings of the
quartet.In the first
movement, a prominently
presented opening pitch
(E) reveals itself, as
the movement unfolds, to
be a center of gravity
from which ever-growing
cycles of activity
gradually evolve.Â
While various important
themes come into being as
the movement progresses,
their impact on the
listener has, I believe,
a great deal to do with
their juxtaposition and
relationship to the
initial central point of
gravity.Stasis is, as the
name implies, a movement
where activity seems, at
times, almost
suspended. Being
also, as Webster’s
Dictionary reminds us,
“a state of static
balance and equilibrium
among opposing tendencies
or forces,†it
develops various
materials, including ones
from the first movement,
without bringing them to
points of
resolution.Flashes is
short and very fast,
evoking in my mind the
quick shimmer of
fireflies, a
“sudden burst of
lightâ€, but also a
“brief
timeâ€. Perhaps,
even, a
“smile�Final
ly, the last movement,
Vista, is not only
“a view or
outlookâ€, but also
“a comprehensive
mental view of a series
of remembered or
anticipated
events.â€Â After
a brief recall of the
opening of the second
movement, this movement
brings back all the
important themes of the
first movement in their
original order. But
just as going back can
never really mean going
back in time, the
movement is much more
than recapitulatory.Â
By cutting through
previously transitory
passages and presenting
the main ideas in a
fashion more direct yet
more evolved, it also
sheds new light on
earlier events, offering
a retrospective, synoptic
view of the first
movement as it brings to
culmination the work as a
whole. “Vistasâ

The
Austro-Hungarian composer
Erwin Schulhoff
(1894-1942) was musically
precocious: At the
suggestion of AntonÃn
Dvorák, he
receivedpiano lessons at
the age of seven, and at
the age of ten became a
student at the Prague
Conservatory. Further
piano studies in Vienna,
Cologne and Leipzig as
well as composition
lessons with Max Reger
supplemented his
education. His Jewish
heritage, which defamed
his music as
“degenerateâ€,
and his sympathy for
communism, however, cost
him his life. In Prague
and finally interned in
Wülzburg near
Weissenburg in Bavaria,
he died of tuberculosis.
Schulhoff's musical
significance lies in the
integration of jazz into
art music, for example in
his oratorio H.M.S. Royal
Oak or in his Hot Sonata
for alto saxophone and
piano. He earned his
living as a jazz pianist
for a long time. In
August 1922 he wrote four
short piano pieces, his
Rag Music, to which he
added four more phrases
in November: released as
Partita, also known as
Jazz-like Partita - with
the fashion dances
Ragtime, Foxtrott,
Shimmy, Boston and - as
No. 7 - a tango. From a
piano to a string quartet
movement, the arrangement
presents itself as a
delicate and smart,
technically not too
difficult sweet, suitable
as a diversion or
addition in a quartet
program.

Quatuor No
2 was first performed by
the Tana string quartet
on April 14, 2013, at
Radio France, Paris. I
conceived a piece whose
principal subject was
going to consist in the
description of a
minuscule sonic element.
The description of this
tiny initial material
would be so precise, so
detailed that, deployed
on a much larger scale
than its original one, it
would occupy the entire
duration of the piece. At
that point, I just had to
choose a sound model as
the starting point of the
piece, the sound that
would best characterize
the string instruments
themselves: the noisy
sound produced by the bow
barely coming in contact
with one of the strings,
getting ready to acquire
speed, weight,
acceleration, and
producing a full sound of
a violin, a viola or a
cello... -Daniel
D'Adamo.

With
his first String Quartet
in D minor, op. 77,
composed in 1855, the
native Swiss composer
Joachim Raff bid a
brilliant farewell to
Weimar. He had been there
as Franz Liszt's
assistant since 1850 and
had made a name for
himself in the city's art
scene - now he embarked
on new paths. He composed
his second Quartet in A
major, op. 90, already in
1857 in Wiesbaden, the
spa town that was to
become his home for 21
years. The two quartets
are unequivocal works:
orchestrally-conceived,
full of energetic vigor,
and at times
uncompromisingly modern.
They confidently continue
the Beethoven tradition
and attest at the same
time to Raff's intensive
confrontation with
Richard Wagner's music
during the Weimar years.
In his chamber music, the
composer wanted to
achieve progress in an
inherently historical way
and to ground the
individual substance in
existing forms, as he
told the Viennese
violinist Josef
Hellmesberger, who
launched opus 77. The
quartets, first published
in 1860/62, found
illustrious interpreters,
among them, the Muller
brothers' renowned
ensemble, to which opus
90 was also dedicated,
and Joseph Joachim.In
collaboration with the
Joachim-Raff-Archiv
Lachen (CH)
Some
eighteen years elapsed
between Raff's first
counted String Quartet
op. 77 and his Quartets
Nos. 6-8 op. 192,
combined as one work. As
such, Raff parted with
the weighty single opus
in quartet composition -
without, however,
sacrificing musical
quality.
