Summary of This Score
String Quartet Op. 3 by Evgeny Kissin presents a chamber music work with a decidedly modern character, composed in 2015-2016. The score features four strongly contrasted movements: an opening "Adagio liberamente" moving to a moderate expressive tempo, followed by a very lively "Allegro inquieto," marked by glissandi and constant tension between extreme dynamics. The third movement, "Largo drammatico," is based on an insistent and strongly accented rhythmic motif, while the finale, after an introduction marked "Pensierosamente, ma mantenendo strettamente il ritmo puntato" ("Thoughtfully, but strictly maintaining the dotted rhythm"), launches into a striking "Molto allegro e sarcastico." Elements of fugato are present here, and as in the other movements, a pronounced twelve-tone imprint is evident. Presented here in an Urtext edition, Studien-Edition (pocket score) with paperback binding, this 20-page publication is aimed at advanced quartets and musicians seeking a precise, legible working score tailored for rehearsal.
