The quartet is a single movement work consisting of four to five short sections of contrasting tempos and character. Stylistically, the quartet is quite representative of his chamber works since the 1990's, and stands in sharp contrast to the first two quartets from the avant-garde period. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide an historical background, formal and linear analysis, and discussion ofthe challenges of interpreting this contemporary work, which has very little performance precedence. 2015-08-07T03:40:47Z 2015-08-07T03:40:47Z 2013 2013 Thesis/Dissertation (ALMA)contemp https://hdl.handle.net/2144/12876 en_US This dissertation is being made available in OpenBU by permission of its author, and is available for research purposes only.
