About this arrangement

String Quartet (Score & Parts) SKU: HL.48023885 For String Quartet. Composed by Elena Kats-Chernin. Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music. Classical. Softcover. 24 pages. Bote & Bock #M202533376. Published by Bote & Bock (HL.48023885). ISBN 9783793140207. UPC: 888680688073. 9.25x12 inches. Mezmer for string quartet is an adaptation of the last movement of Re-Collecting ASTORoids, an earlier suite for orchestra from Kats-Chernin. Commissioned by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the suite was written in tribute to Astor Piazzolla and is clearly inspired by tango, though Kats-Chernin uses various rhythms as her source of inspiration. Mezmer is a miniature and has an intimate, smoky feel with a bluesy violin solo laden with vibrato. An air of solitude and reflection surrounds the piece.
