String quartet SKU: BO.B.3519
Composed by Roger Julia Satorra. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.B.3519). This type of piece is traditionally formed by a slow movement and a fas movement joined together. In this case the lento is light in feeling with a degree of dynamism. Its form is similar to an arch: the music begins and ends in silence.
The Allegro con brio, however, is ferocious, fast and energetic. It performance it is important to create an overall sensation of agility. The entire movement is based on a short two-measure motive which is developed and passes from one instrument to the other throughout the rest of the piece.
