Inception: May 2024 Completion: May 2024
Recording: Digital rendition
1st String Quartet
After the inner discoveries of the previous movement “Desolation”, “Understanding” comes with a calm clarity and sense of resolution. The third movement of the string quartet began as a simple counterpoint exercise which gives it a very ‘classical’ feeling. This contrasts with a very rhythmic section before returning to the original calm melody.
