Mosaics
for String Quartet
The inspiration for my quartet came from Beethoven's ''String Quartet'' Op. 133. The fugue's theme appears twice as a quote inmy work; in the beginning, in the viola part and at the end, in the first violin. Also, there are similarities in the motivic and rhythmic construction as well as in the use of triple and quadruple counterpoint. Analogies with Beethoven's musical language create only one layer of the multilayered music of ''Mosaics''. As the title suggests, the music continously undergoes changes and metamorphoses, creating a sound image full of rich and bold colors with strong expressive feelings. The work should be performed appassionato and with great intensity of dynamics. [M. Ptaszyńska]
