Michael Fine: Quartet Moments
"I began composing at age 63 after a lifetime's experience of music as a performer, recording producer, serious listener and administrator. This was the first music I wrote: six brief vignettes and an Epilogue about my surroundings in Rotterdam, where I've made my home for the past nine years. There is nothing of the hustle and bustle of this large port city, but reminiscences of the city's hidden corners, small nature preserves, and some of the people I have observed. The Epilogue is a meditation on walking, and not just the physical activity of putting one foot in front of the other. Quartet Moments 2 continues in the same vein but with no visual clues and no hints either from me other than telling you that the slow movement is a particular favorite of mine." - Michael Fine
