Y’know, after hearing this it wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn that one of Durupt’s chief influences was the “Grande Dame of the Glissando” herself, Gloria Coates. Which is, of course, a good thing!

I was at this concert and I hadn’t gone to see the premiere, though I listen to a lot of contemporary music. I found it passable, not ground-breaking and not dull. My favourite moment was when the lead violin is returning to the tremolando behaviour and rest of the quartet are still in the quieter sound world. But, it didn’t catch me into it like some of my favourite quartet works like Jürg Frey No. 2, or Ferneyhough No. 4.

I liked it as what it was: a small scale single movement piece. I think its reception was hampered by coming after another small scale masterwork (the langsamersatz), being presented and hyped as Durupt’s first string quartet and also having a title that could imply more substantial material
