piano quartet

[dko22]

having acquired the Pianoteq piano a few months ago, I decided it was time to write a new piece for strings (the standard string trio) and piano. The impetus was the great Faure second piano quintet and those who know the piece will recognise the quotation from the slow movement which forms its heart.  It's often wildly impassioned "Sturm und Drang" but there are more reflective passages too.

In three movements, it can be heard here

one could not (and should not) offer a critique after a single spin but I can say I found it worth additional plays. Do you have an ensemble lined up to perform it? Joe

I know someone who has had work recorded commercially by a string trio. Of course even if they were interested, a pianist would have to be found. I thought I'd try and get some reactions to the piece first as it's something of a move backward in time for me!
