Allegretto Animoso (1985, rev. 1987)

Scored for string quartet and bass (bass required). Moderate level; about 2:55. Can be done as chamber music, or with a larger string orchestra. Brief sonata form, fast, syncopated, loosely tonal, emphasis on perfect intervals and tritones. 1st theme in 1st violin, 2nd in viola and cello. This was published in 1988 by Warner Brothers, but is out of print; as of now you can only get it directly from me. It was originally titled A String Thing, but WB insisted that I change it to something more formal. Ugh. $10, including score, parts, & demo; order here.
