The Four Quarters 艾得斯

托马斯-阿德斯的第二部弦乐四重奏作品《The Four Quarters》是为埃默森四重奏创作的，2011 年在卡内基音乐厅首演。这部 20 分钟的作品描绘了一天的进程，曾获得 2012 年英国作曲家室内乐奖。开篇乐章《夜幕降临》以玻璃般的和声为典型，而《小夜曲-晨露》则充满了俏皮的拨弦。第三乐章 "日子 "以一种探寻性的轻快旋律为基调，在 "第二十五个小时 "中，作品摆脱了传统的时间限制，在闪亮的尾声中以 25/16 的不寻常时间符号摇摆起舞

原文简介:
Thomas Adès’s second work for string quartet, The Four Quarters was written for the Emerson Quartet and was premiered by them at Carnegie Hall in 2011. The winner of the 2012 British Composer Award for Chamber Composition, the 20-minute work charts the progress of a day. Glassy harmonics typify the opening movement Nightfalls, whilst playful pizzicati abound in Serenade – Morning Dew. A sombre third movement, Days, is underpinned by a searching ostinato before the work breaks free from conventional time in The Twenty-Fifth Hour, the glittering finale which swings and dances in the unusual time signature of 25/16.
