about

I have been a huge admirer of Federico Mompou since my first encounter with his Música Callada with Herbert Henck on the ECM label. Then I found an album of the same work with Jenny Lin on the Steinway & Sons label. I was so impressed with her work on the Mompou that I hired her to record my Twenty-nine Fireflies for solo piano (1977-2002). I have subsequently hired her to record other solo piano works of mine: For Morton Feldman (2017), Préludes ... Hommage à C.D. (2020), Via Crucis ... Hommage à Franz Liszt (2020) and Huit Épigraphes (2021).

So when it came time to write my 16th string quartet, I decided that Beethoven wasn't as inspiring as Shostakovich was when I wrote SQ15 ... Hommage à DSCH (2021). So, instead I thought maybe I should write a tribute to Mompou for my 16th string quartet.

SQ16 ... Música Callada (2022) is in 6 movements.

1. Adagio - Moderato
2. Largo - Moderato
3. Presto - TRIO
4. Adagio
5. Moderato - TRIO
6. Largo

NB: The entire work is played "con sordino."
