Program Notes

Intermezzo for Clarinet in A and String Quartet intertwines new motives and textures with themes from the first four movements of my Symphony No.3 in E Minor: Concert in Three Acts into an intimate chamber work. In this composition, these themes develop concurrently, mutually influencing each other before arriving at a solemn conclusion.

Originally the fifth movement of the symphony, this composition served as the introduction to the finale, leading into it without pause. I have excerpted it here without musical changes, simply reformatted for performance as an independent chamber work.
