I am actually surprised this is by Milton Babbitt of serialismatic infamy. Are you sure you have properly credited this piece? I think Elliott Carter was the ghost writer, and let Milton pass it off as his own.

Could you tell me whether this piece is also an example of total serialism (like Babbitt's own Three Compositions for piano from 1947 or Boulez' Structures I for two pianos from 1951)?
I mean, besides pitch (this is a 12-note/tone work, as I understand), are ALL other musical parameters (including tone-colour or mode of attack) serialized? My score-reading is not sufficient in this respect, hence the question.

The performance here by the unsurpassed Composers Quartet (the only recording of this brilliant work!) is absolutely marvellous, as is the recording itself (probably already from 1972). I agree, with score the whole is even twice as exciting - thanks a lot!
Detail: this quartet dates from 1954, not 1952, as is incorrectly mentioned on the oringinal LP and also on the CD-reissue.

This has always been one of my favourite American string quartets, a splendidly vivid and volatile work which combines formal clarity and structural rigour with expressive playfulness.

With score is twice as entertaining! Very nice.

Probably one of babbit's more accessible and quite catchy pieces (you definitely hear his jazz big band background)
