Duddell's
short string quartet made
up of four mere
bagatelles is a treat for
both players and
audiences. First
performed by the Psophos
Quartet at the 2007
Presteigne Festival and
recently transcribed for
string orchestra, Duddell
embraces the historical
weight of the prestigious
string quartet medium by
alluding to a wealth of
masterpieces by Mozart,
Stravinsky, Debussy,
Beethoven, Tippett and
Webern. Despite these
acknowledged references,
the music is still
distinctly Duddell's,
with catchy melodic
lines, tender harmonies
and rhythmic energy. This
is a fantastic new work
for young quartets
interested in new
repertoire.
