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.

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

Chaconne
(2016), for string
quartet, was commissioned
by the Daedalus Quartet
to celebrate its 15th
anniversary. The
commission was supported
by New Music USA, made
possible by annual
program support and/or
endowment gifts from
Pennsylvania Council on
the Arts, Helen F.
Whitaker Fund, and Aaron
Copland Fund for Music.My
music has a substantial
history with Daedalus. I
composed the Third String
Quartet (2008) for them,
and subsequently they
performed my three string
quartets on several
occasions and recorded
them brilliantly on
Bridge Records (Bridge
9352: Music of Fred
Lerdahl, vol. 3).
Chaconne is in one
movement lasting 19
minutes. It is
effectively my fourth
string quartet. Quartets
1-3 form a unified cycle
lasting 70 minutes. When
I finished the cycle, I
thought I would never
write again for the
medium; yet I could not
resist the opportunity of
working again with
Daedalus. The issue was
how to compose another
string quartet unrelated
to the earlier cycle. The
solution came from my
solo cello piece There
and Back Again (2010),
which was based on a
four-bar variation
pattern from a
17th-century chaconne.
Unlike the asymmetrical
phrases and expanding
variations of much of my
music, the chaconne form
requires symmetrical
phrases and strictly
periodic variations. I
wished to work again with
these symmetries but on a
larger scale. Chaconne
also differs in character
and expression from the
three-quartet cycle. The
cycle is inward and
intense, a kind of
psychological excavation.
Chaconne is, for the most
part, transparent and
playful. Many of its
textures emerge from
little canons, not
completely unlike the
rounds that children
sing. Any composer who
writes in chaconne form
(one thinks above all of
the last movement of
Bach's D minor violin
partita and the finale of
Brahms's Fourth Symphony)
is confronted with the
challenge of how to
create a larger form out
of a constantly repeating
pattern.My Chaconne grows
from paired
antecedent-consequent
phrases, each variation
lasting eight bars. The
50 variations group into
three large rotations,
forming three arcs of
tension and relaxation,
with subtle parallel
connections across the
rotations.
Notwithstanding my
attraction to chaconne
form, I purposefully
disguised its symmetries
and periodicities in
order to build an overall
dramatic shape. Fred
Lerdahl.
