Just an amazing session!!! I’m so grateful and honored—I can’t wait to share the finished #album with you all!

This is a snippet from “Wabi-Sabi”, movement 2: “Evolution”.

Featured are the brilliant Ryan Shannon (violin), Lu Yu (viola), and Minjin Chung (cello), and guest artist Benjamin Carson (violin). Take a listen— then stay posted for the album release to hear more! (From Juventas New Music Ensemble)

4. Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924)

Stanford was born in Dublin and became Professor of Composition at thethen newly formed Royal College Of Music in London. He is pretty well known in the UK, I'm not sure if this is the case elsewhere in the world. Anyway, I'm just showing that there are gradations of well-knownedness, and that also, even with the more famous composer, not all of their compositions get recorded.

Stanford wrote eight string quartets. The first two were recorded some years back, the other six only recently by the Dante Quartet for SOMM Recordings. They are real good. I like them because they have such a full sound - there is so much going on. Here is the sixth string quartet in A minor and it really is the biz.

Eddy Chen, Brett Yang, and friends playing Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 2  in A minor, Op. 13: I. Adagio - Allegro vivace. This reminds you that TwoSetViolin are professional violinists. Enjoyable performance.

WARNING: VERY LIVELY (BUT THERE’S VIOLA)

[keegerproduit-blog]

Writing my first string quartet and this is my calculated approach into composing for them. I took inspiration from Leos Janacek’s Kreutzer Sonata. The piece captured my interest with its harmonies as well as its aesthetic. My draft is far from a performable piece, but I’m using this technique of composing to capture the look of Janacek’s piece. 

While writing this I didn’t focus on any note or pitch (besides starting on G), but rather each system’s aesthetics. If you look at Kreutzer Sonata without any prior musical training, you’ll still notice that the score looks good even from an artist’s perspective. Composing with this in mind, I tried focusing only on a system’s beauty. Each melodic line has a unique shape, with harmony between voices that creates a picture, with color, texture, and intensity such as a piece of visual art.
