| Timothy Blinko : Montage |
"Montage is my first piece for string quartet, a medium I
have always fought shy of due to the particular acoustic properties
of the idiom. For me the solution has been a close integration of
the instruments, creating tonal homogeneity and the sense of one
multi-faceted instrument."
