“In
diesem Augenblickâ€
(In This Moment) is the
first work for string
quartet by the Chinese
composer Yang Lin, born
in Beijing in 1982. The
work was given its world
premiere in November 2010
by the Amaryllis Quartet
at the Laeizshalle in
Hamburg. “In diesem
Augenblick†is
concerned with the brief
moment between two
events, comparable with
the interval between two
steps whilst walking:
“This brief moment,
this motion in detail
that one does not usually
notice, has been given a
great deal of attention.
But it does not mean that
this moment stops. There
remains a contradictory
moment that remembers the
tensions and vibrations
of the past an, at the
same time, awaits the
peace of the
future.†(Yang
Lin).

English
comments: A Bach for
string quartet is another
evocation of the past, in
this case of J.S. Bach's
works for violin. Written
in 2004, it is a
recreation of two of the
most important movements
in the series of Sonatas
and Partitas: The Adagio
of the third Sonata and
the Prelude of the third
Partita (BWV 1005 and
1006, respectively).
Jordi Cervello was a
violinist and, as such,
it should come as no
surprise that he once
again makes use of
compositions written for
his instrument. The
Adagio, here in common
time (the original by
Bach is in three-four
time), keeps up the
constant rhythmic figure
of the dotted quaver and
semi-quaver throughout
the movement, with a
calmness that is shrouded
in mystery. The second
movement, Preludiando,
retains the same lively
spirit as the original,
but explores different
moods. Moments of calm,
vigour and even some
dramatic points give it a
new dimension thanks to
the fact that it is
written for a quartet and
to Cervello's original
treatment of harmony and
counterpoint.
Co
mentarios del
Espanol: A Bach para
cuarteto de cuerda es
otra evocacion del
pasado, en este caso de
la obra para violin de
J.S. Bach. Escrita el ano
2004, se trata de una
recreacion de dos de los
movimientos mas
importantes de la serie
de Sonatas y Partitas: El
Adagio de la tercera
Sonata y el Preludio de
la tercera Partita (BWV
1005 y 1006
respectivamente). Jordi
Cervello fue violinista
y, como tal, no debe
sorprender que una vez
mas se sirva de material
compositivo procedente de
su instrumento. El
Adagio, aqui en compas de
cuatro (el original de
Bach es de tres) conserva
en todo el movimiento la
constante figura ritmica
de corchea con puntillo y
semicorchea, dentro de un
clima sereno pero rodeado
de misterio. El segundo
movimiento, Preludiando,
conserva el mismo
espiritu vivo del
original, pero
recorriendo diferentes
estados de animo.
Momentos de calma, de
vigor e incluso
dramaticos dan nueva
dimension gracias a la
escritura cuartetistica y
al original tratamiento
armonico y
contrapuntistico de
Cervello. A Bach se
estreno en La Pedrera de
Barcelona dentro del
ciclo Celebracions de la
Fundacio Caixa de
Catalunya en el ano 2006
con el Quarteto
Prometeo.

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!

Kimm
o Hakola's String Quartet
No. 4 op. 95 (2016) was
commissioned by the
Kimito Island Music
Finland and it's
dedicated to the Meta4
Quartet. In composer's
words, it is the
floundering, playful, if
necessary defiantly
dramatic, surprising,
capricious and
unrestrained tour de
force of a youthful
entity.Kimmo Hakola has
gone through a number of
styles and influences in
his career as a composer,
his idiom expanding at
times to embrace
Romanticism, Orientalism
and klezmer. He has
attained international
recognition with an
output that spans various
genres from intimate solo
works to full-length
operas such as La Fenice
(2011) commissioned by
the Savonlinna Opera
Festival. Many of his
works are expansive and
epic: his Piano Concerto
(1996), for instance,
clocks in at 55 minutes.
Hakola says that he sees
music as drama. His
dramas explore almost
Shakespearean extremes,
from moments of raging
'sound and fury' and
violent battles to quiet
moments of meditation and
heart-rending
monologues.

My second
String Quartet was
written twenty years
after the first, Opus 4
from 1978. The First
Quartet is an obsessively
contrapuntal work in one
movement, which was no
doubt influenced by my
studies with David
Diamond. I had always
intended to return to the
medium once I left the
astringency of my earlier
style, but it was only
when the National
Federation of Music Clubs
commissioned a major
chamber work, with
unspecified
instrumentation, to
celebrate their 100th
Anniversary that I was
enabled to do so. The
Second Quartet is in four
movements: Moderato,
Allegro isterico, an
Andante theme with 11
variations, and the
closing Allegro, which
then returns to the tempo
of the first movement. An
audience member at the
premiere told me that she
heard echoes of recent
tragic events such as the
Oklahoma bombing in this
work. While I had no such
programmatic intent while
writing the quartet, it
was not an entirely
incorrect assessment of
the work's intended
emotional impact. The
quartet is pervaded by a
sense of seriousness,
even mournfulness. The
second movement's scherzo
is an aggressively
animated piece of musical
machinery. The third
movement's Variations
unfold into a greater
variety of moods than the
others - but the moments
of lyricism are countered
by aggressive or ironic
outbursts. The final
movement's attempt at
triumph quickly subsides
into a return of the
first movement, before
being transformed onto a
sense of resignation and
acceptance as the
chromaticism of the
opening theme is
transformed into a pure
and diatonic C-Major. The
work received its world
premiere by the Shanghai
Quartet at the 100th
Anniversary Congress of
the National Federation
of Music Clubs at the
Congress Hotel in Chicago
on August 19th
1998. My second String
