Brilliant elucidation, Karl! Now give me the name of the composer. ;D

Hmm... this doesn't seem to be going anywhere. While misleading the listener is what was intended, I didn't expect it to happen to such a degree. Don't let the sombre melody fool you into thinking that the composer is well known. He's relatively unknown, and you'll probably be considered as "cool" (or weird) in some circles if you listen to him. ;D

Everyone is still in that "This isn't Vivaldi, is it?" state of near-shock ; )

C'mon, Karl, everyone knows that Vivaldi didn't write string quartets. :P

Nope. But pretty much the same time period, give or take a few years.

I just looked up his name on Wikipedia and it seems that he was born in the nineteenth century.

Yes bad guess, and I misspelled him without the P,

Virgil Thomson has no P, but he's too famous to be the one

Rorem?

To speed things up a bit: this movement is an island of tonality surrounded by the choppy waters of caco dodecaphony. ;D

Oh, and the group which performed at the première wasn't required to fly across the Atlantic. ;)
