Mosolov - String Quartet No. 1 in A minor- I Andante

[RoniGlaser]

Where can I get a copy of the score of this piece? I can't find one anywhere on the internet (that isn't in a YouTube video of course).

@RoniGlaser I have the same issue. I even tried (unsuccessfully) to get ahold of the the Novosibirsk "Filarmonica" String Quartet, though that was a while ago. Many of his piano pieces I've found, as well as a later folk piece for chorus, but no string music whatsoever.

Such a fantastic piece.

[MrLindenson]

iron foundry is great, but this is definitely my favorite mosolov composition

[AlsatianCousin]

I don't think this is supposed to be enjoyed in the traditional sense of the word, rather being provoked to listen to it till the bitter end. And it's almost impossible to remember.

[13irdo]

it's not impossible to remember at all...

Brutal

...the hell is this?

[MrLindenson]

This piece is fucking awesome! I feel sorry for the performers though; this looks impossible to play, and I don't think there are too many people out there who enjoy this kind of music.

[HIZUMIFACE]

pretty sure this isn't in A minor. it's using Schoenberg's set theory isn't it?

[Saxotillery]

@HIZUMIFACE It is indeed in A minor. At least, that's what Mosolov called it. Furthermore, Inna Barsova, a leading authority on the Soviet avant-garde and Mosolov in particular lists it as "Струнный квартет № 1 a-moll op. 24" in "A.V. Mosolov: Stat'i i vospominaniya" which was compiled by Mosolov's wife, Nina Meshko.

[MrLindenson]

@Saxotillery well, with his use of chromatic and octatonic scales, it's hardly in a key at all haha

[NickjamesC]

genius, amazing textures and colors, excellent use of of the cello. You have impacted me greatly, Hexameron, thank you for help in sharing this with the world.

[CZP87]
