String quartet No. 2 (1971) - III

from Osvaldas Balakauskas - String quartets by Chordos String quartet

/

about

In the Second Quartet, composed in the same year of 1971, Balakauskas first used a principle which became important for great part of his later music: in the first movement the element of the tone row is not a single tone but a short melodic formation, diatonic descending sequence of the great second and minor third, which imparts some tonal colours to the serial fabric. In the third movement, the latter is furthermore disturbed by the C-major triad, appearing out of the blue and ‘insistently’ repeating – looking like a game with elements of stylistic collage, otherwise not so characteristic of this composer.
