There's a taxi waiting for Chekhov, but he'd rather go on foot.. Par EOTVOS PETER. Right at the beginning, this funny encore piece has the string quartet imitate the squawking horn of a car from 1901.

'Encore' is dedicated to Peter Eötvös' Hungarian fellow composer and master of aphorism, György Kurtág, on the occasion of his 80th birthday./ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
