This quartet was written after intense study of the Haydn Quartets Opp. 20 and 33, as well as focused listening and some study of the early Mozart quartets.
I've used 4 places at the Chautauqua Institution as my inspiration:
Allegro: Bestor Plaza ( pdf | mp3 5:19)
Minuet & Trio: The Athenaeum Hotel ( pdf | mp3 5:50)
Adagio: The Great Meadow Overlooking the Lake ( pdf | mp3 6:23)
Presto Finale: Sports Festival at Boys and Girls Club ( pdf | mp3 2:57)
