	Story Behind the Song Composed in the fall of 2000, this string quartet is contains a great deal of minimal qualities, yet at the same time looked forward as the first notions of the maximalist style are evident ... especially within Moving Foward, this first movement. Interestingly enough I wrote the first movement last, the second movement first, and the third movement second! Though the first movement is beautiful and is, from an academic standpoint, of greater importance for its embodyment of maximalistic style, I feel that it was the third movement which was the most stunning and of the greatest success.
