Classical Music | Music for Quartet

The title of the composition, String Theory, was inspired by the concert where it will be performed by the Composers Concordance in New York, entitled "CompCord & Entertaining Science." All the works on the concert program are to have a scientific theme and the title "String Theory" is a way to use a scientific term and describe the piece at the same time. 

String Theory starts out with a slow introduction, inspired by the music of John Coltrane, followed by a Coltrane-inspired theme with a virtuosic solo by the first violin. After the solo, some of the music from the slow introduction returns, followed by a fast finale to the finish line.
