- String Quartet No.1
Dedicated to Thurston Dart, Michael Nyman’s professor at King’s College, London, much of String Quartet No. 1 borrows and is inspired by the works of seventeenth century composer John Bull whosecomplete keyboard works Dart gave Nyman as a birthday present. The other main source of inspiration was Schöneberg’s Second String Quartet from the early 20th century.
In his introduction to the pieceNymandescribes his two background ideas when composing the work: first, to make an almost ‘orchestral’ chamber music and second, to exorcise the impressive and oppressive history of the String quartet by making his work acompendium ofquotations from the quartet repertoire. Commissioned by the Arditti Quartet and first performed by them in 1985, String Quartet No. 1 has a duration of 25:44 minutes.
