Notes: String Quartet No. 2 was composed in 2004 on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the composer’s father. The work is divided into 5 movements with a total duration of 20 minutes. The structure of the composition was generated by a fractal algorithm that the composer has been experimenting with over the past years and is defined by strong contrasts, shifts and changes. The first four movements, although derived from the same musical material, are unique in character and mood while the fifth movement is a sort of a developmental section that juxtaposes material from all the other movements and brings the work to it’s end.
