The great simplicity of the piece masks its complexity. The under…

for String Quartet Full Score. Par HARTKE STEPHEN. THE FIFTH BOOK of the title refers to what Stephen Hartke considers his fifth book of madrigals, only two of which books are actually for voices, with the others being for string instruments.
