Redolent of
the work of Dmitri
Shostakovich in its
musical language, Evgeny
Kissin's String Quartet
op. 3 comprises four
strongly contrasting
movements: on the heels
of the stately
“Adagio
liberamente†comes
an extremely lively
“Allegro
inquieto†that
wanders between dynamic
extremes and bristles
with glissandi. The third
movement, marked
“Largo
drammatico,†is
sustained by an
insistent, heavily
rhythmic dotted motive,
while the final movement
shifts from the
introduction, marked
“Pensierosamente,
ma mantenendo
strettamente il ritmo
puntato,†into a
brilliant finale,
“Molto allegro e
sarcastico,†that
is suffused with elements
of fugato and,like all
movements, informed by
dodecaphonic harmonies.
This demanding
fifteen-minute work was
composed in 2015-16 and
recorded for the first
time on Nimbus Records by
the Kopelman Quartet.
