Comments: Transcription of Spirals for string quartet. New elements in this arrangement include a concerto grosso-like opposition between a quartet comprised of the first-chair players and the tutti. Based on the opening material from the third movement of Brahms' Op. 67 string quartet (directly quoted near the end), Spirals is a bright, rhythmic and accessible piece which functions well as an orchestral opener. |
