	This quartet is a very passionate work scored for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello. It is based on a simple scale like theme that reoccurs in several variations and developmental episodes. This is a very tightly constructed composition reminiscent of the classical style however it is modernized by instrumental color and contemporary rhythmic drive. Consequently the work is very easy to listen as well as very stimulating to the heart and imagination. If you like the rich counterpoint of Bach, this work will appeal to you. If you like the short driving motives of Beethoven, this work will appeal to you. If you like the sonorities and color of Ravel and Bartok, this work will appeal to you. If you like the soaring romantic highs of Rachmaninov you will love this work.

	Story Behind the Song This work was composed after a two year period of not composing. I was inspired to compose it despite the fact that I knew it would not be appreciated by today’s pop culture.
