Half of the performing duo with Aleksey Igudesman, Hyung-ki Joo wrote his first string quartet in his final term at the Yehudi Menuhin School for a graduation concert. At the time, the young composer was intrigued by various talents in the arts, and chose six to whom he would pay musical tribute. The score includes his notes on his tributes to Purcell, Beckett, Beethoven, Munch, Bach, and Schoenberg, all of which are inventive encapsulations of his impressions. For advanced performers.
