Quartet in D minor. 1st mov. by Amado Alves

Computer-generated rendition of the score http://bit.ly/1KRbsnV. The quartet has three movements. This is only the first. The 2nd mov. is a short interlude, in a happier tone. The 3rd mov. is longer and includes improvisiation mainly by the viola. The whole quartet was premiered in Lisbon, 1999, by the "Bohemian Café Quartet" (Evan Coka, Alberto Caeiro and other musicians of the Orchestra do Teatro de São Carlos). Unfortunately the live recording has been lost. Photo "Castelo de Ourem II" by Paulo Vaz Henriques (C) 2005 fotografiasempre.blogspot.com - some rights reserved.
