At the premiere of this piece in 1972, New York Times music critic described, “Mr. Rochberg’s quartet is—how did we used to put it?—beautiful. It is one of the rare new works that go past collage and quotation into another, fairer land. Let’s hear it again soon, somebody.” Thankfully, the Telegraph Quartet will answer this call with a sneak peek sample of the third movement.
