It seems to me the structure of the Quartets is too imposed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Quartets have been a major part of my work.
As an improviser I'm now pretty comfortable with trios, so I'm thinking of working up to quartets.
A good quartet is like a good conversation among friends interacting to each other's ideas.
A lot of musicians have a tough time hearing what we're doing in a trio format.
People like the idea of the trio and so I did mostly trio.
There are six 'Time Warp Trio' books that would take a page each to fully praise. And I just thought up twelve more while I was typing this sentence.
The Third Quartet I made the instruments in pairs - Two different pairs - Violin and viola, and violin and cello. They played very different things from each other all through the whole piece.
I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.
I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.
I prefer a quartet, it makes everyone work harder.
