By commission of the Siemens Foundation for Irvine Arditti and the Arditti String Quartet, Felder has created a work of dynamic contrasts. From the outset, he asks much of the strings (Fiery - very aggressive!) through a sustained fortissimo passage, shifting quickly to alternate states (suddenly subdued) and effects (effervescent). Afire, intense, perky, even mechanically! - incessant are instructions throughout. For advanced performers. Duration: 19'.

Featured on the Bridge Records CD Music of David Felder, as recorded by the Arditti String Quartet. Felder's Third Face was given its first performance by the Arditti, at the 1988 Buffalo new music festival. I was struck by it then; after further hearings of it I admire it even more. It is lucid, but with a controlled wildness in its making. Written for virtuosi, it challenges them by presenting its fierce, fertile ideas with almost reckless rhythmic and dynamic exuberance. (Andrew Porter, The New Yorker) For advanced performers. Duration: 11'.
