A
lthough his
Signifying Riffs
(1998) for percussion and
strings is halfway there,
String Quartet 1.5:
Experiments in
Living (2016) is the
first proper string
quartet by composer
George Lewis. Borrowing
its title from the
writings of John Stuart
Mill, Experiments in
Living leads the
performers through a
series of idiosyncratic
episodes featuring
extremes of gesture and
extended technique over
the course of a single,
16-minute
movement.
Commissio
ned by the Fromm
Foundation, String
Quartet 1.5: Experiments
in Living was
composed for Spektral
Quartet, who gave the
premiere performance in
October 2016 at Chicago's
Harris Theater. This set
of score and parts has
been made available for
sale by Edition Peters as
part of the Peters
Contemporary Chamber
Series and includes full
performance notes.
Chopsticks and superball
mallets are required to
achieve some of the
score's percussive
playing
techniques.
